“A heroic and ultimately tragic story of a wife, mother and queen trying to save her husband, the Shah of Iran, her family, her dynasty, and her homeland,” reads the logline. “Told from the point of view of Empress Farah Pahlavi, it’s an epic struggle for the survival of monarchy at the crossroads of the modern world. The characters are interwoven into a compelling saga of personal relations, family crises, palace intrigue, religious upheaval and machinations of Shakespearean proportions, all set against the powder keg of a brewing revolution that will change the course of history.”
Unlike many political activists, Yasmine focuses not only on political change but also on social healing — emphasizing compassion, education, and the rebuilding of trust and civic responsibility among after decades of repression. Yasmine Pahlavi’s approach to public life blends royal dignity with professional activism. Despite being part of former royal family, she often avoids formal titles and instead presents herself as a citizen advocate. As a lawyer, mother, and cancer survivor, Yasmine often discusses resilience and women’s empowerment. Her speeches and interviews frequently highlight how women have historically been the foundation of education, morality, and progress in the country.
