"Their voices are suppressed, prohibited and censored.
But
world-famous bloggers Yoani Sánchez, Zeng Jinyan and Farnaz Seifi are
not frightened of their dictatorial regimes.
These fearless women stand
for a new, networked generation of modern rebels.
In Cuba, China and
Iran their blogs shake the foundations of the state information monopoly
–
putting their lives at great risk.
Barbara Miller’s film FORBIDDEN VOICES accompanies these brave young
rebels on their dangerous journey and trace their use of social media
like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to denounce and combat the violations
of human rights and freedom of speech in their countries –
thereby
triggering international resonance by building up enormous political
pressure.
TIME Magazine counts them among the world’s most influential voices.
Based on their moving eyewitness reports and clandestine footage,
FORBIDDEN VOICES pays homage to their courageous battle"
