A terribly moving story, both personal and political, about grief, anger, and injustice in Iran.

On January 8, 2020, the Ukraine Airlines flight PS752 to Montreal via Kiev exploded shortly after taking off from Tehran airport. On board was Shadi, a young Iranian woman who was about to marry Nima, the son of Touka Neyestani and nephew of Mana Neyestani. Shadi’s family and friends, including Shaghayegh Moazzami, were devastated by the news. Doubts about the causes of the accident soon spread, and it quickly became clear that the Iranian army fired two missiles at the plane. In a shocking narrative, Touka, Mana, and Shaghayegh take turns remembering this story.
