"Googoosh: Iran's Daughter"
2000
Directed by Farhad Zamani

Until the 1979 Islamic Revolution brought her career to a halt, Googoosh was the most famous pop singer in Iran. Her career began as a child performer and included several film roles, but it was through her recordings that she became a cultural phenomenon. Her stardom influenced some controversial fashions in the tradition-bound nation, including women's short hair styles that remain popular today. This documentary tells the story of Googoosh, including her recent resurgence as a performer. Interviews and great performance footage show the incredible impact she has had on Iranian society. Farsi and English with English subtitles.  157 minutes.
