Reading Lolita in Tehran OVERVIEWGenre: Drama Language: English Add Country of Origin: USA Production Status: In Development CAST & CREW Producers: Rosalie Swedlin, Nick Wechsler SYNOPSIS Upon her return to Iran, a liberal female college professor takes her work underground when Iranian officials try to censor her classroom curriculum. She forms a clandestine reading group composed of a tight-nit group of female students who use classic works of literature, including Lolita and The Great Gatsby, as a prism through which to examine their own lives. However, she eventually decides to flee Iran to ensure that her daughter won’t grow up in a society that denies its female citizens full rights. Each of her students finds their true paths through literature, and while some follow their professor abroad in an effort to taste true freedom, others remain in Iran to continue the book group and fight for their equality from the inside.
