Key Quote: ““Shayda is a love letter to mothers and daughters. It’s about an Iranian mother and daughter who are starting a new life in an Australian women’s refuge, and it’s really a story of finding freedom, independence, and writing your own destiny. It’s actually inspired by personal experience. I was five years old when I lived in a women’s shelter with my mom, so this story has really lived inside me since then.” – Noora Niasari.
