From symbolizing modern Iran to enduring 20 years of house arrest, and ultimately making a stunning return to music while becoming a powerful advocate for women and freedom along the way – this is the extraordinary story of Googoosh, the Queen of Persian Pop.
For decades, Iranian megastar Googoosh captivated audiences with her progressive style and boundless talent, earning global acclaim with performances alongside Tina Turner and Ray Charles. The 1979 Islamic Revolution halted her meteoric career with a ban on women singing in public, leading to two decades of house arrest and enforced silence. Googoosh - Made of Fire recounts the dramatic life story and comeback of Googoosh through her own words and spellbinding archival footage.
