Sonita (2015)
Germany

If 18-year old Sonita had a say in things, Rihanna would be her mother. Sonita, a refugee from Afghanistan in Iran, dreams of being a rapper. Although women in Iran are not allowed to sing,
she tries Iranian recording studios to sign her. Back home her family has decided to sell her
as a bride for $9,000.

How can Sonita succeed in making her dreams come true? Director Rokhsareh Ghaem Maghami ends up personally involved in answering that question.
