This article explores the intersection of underground music and political resistance in two films inspired by Iran’s evolving socio-political landscape: Bahman Ghobadi’s No One Knows About Persian Cats and Omid Mirnoor’s Rap and Revolution Iran. Spanning the 2009 Green Movement to the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom uprising, these films spotlight the transformative power of Iranian rap as a form of resistance against the Islamic Republic’s censorship, gender apartheid, and human rights violations. Ghobadi’s narrative immerses viewers in the lives of underground musicians, with music driving the film’s rhythm and defiance. Mirnoor’s cinematic approach layers lyrics, visuals, and personal stories to create a dynamic and evocative palimpsest, bridging the gap between Iran’s underground and its global diaspora. Through these films, rap emerges as a compelling medium of protest, uniting voices over 15 years of resistance and culminating in a narrative that transcends borders and amplifies the fight for freedom.
