Feminine, Masculine (Short Film) ⎜WHY DEMOCRACY?

In the male dominated society of Iran, Farahnaz Shiri, the first female bus driver in Tehran, has made her own little society in her bus. In Iran there are different sections for men and women on public buses. But in Mrs. Shiri’s bus, everything is vice versa. In her bus, women are made to feel empowered and enjoy the privilege of freely debating their position in Iranian society. Mrs. Shiri’s struggle to prove herself in this society provides a fascinating insight into gender and power in the close space of a public bus.

I can't believe the boy on the bus said ... being a judge to sign a death sentence is less stressful than driving a bus. How can he think killing people is less stressful? He has to be a psychopath.
