The Story of Gordafarid, 勾達法麗德的故事

片名：勾達法麗德的故事（The Story of Gordafarid）

導演：哈地．阿發立德（Hadi Afarideh）

影片簡介：

那卡力（Naqali）是伊朗傳統的劇場說唱藝術，由男人獨唱，長久以來禁止女性參與。女性也不得出現在那卡力的表演場所，如咖啡廳、公眾廣場等。

本片記錄伊朗歷史上第一位女性說唱藝術家——法德美．哈畢畢薩德（Fatemeh Habibizad）。她積極地拜訪耆老，學習伊朗不同區域所發展的說唱形式，在學習的過程中因為身為女人，承受不同的社會壓力。

她被稱呼為「勾達法麗德小姐」。她證明女性也能作男人的工作，就像伊朗史詩王書（The Book of Kings）中的女英雄勾達法麗德（Gordafarid），在男人之前挺身而出為伊朗戰鬥。
