Some Iranian actresses have defied the regime by throwing off their headscarves in a video posted on social media as a sign of protest and support for the Woman, Life, Freedom movement.

The short video shows filmmaker and actress Soheila Golestani walking in a park bare-headed, pausing at the foot of a staircase and looking into the camera. He is accompanied by eight other women and four men, who strike the same pose without saying a word. The video was posted on her Instagram profile late Sunday night and she wrote: “The show is over and the truth is out. Our true heroes are the anonymous ones. We don’t point out our mistakes. Once again we practice and learn… There are countless ways and hope for a new day, so many.”

The video was also posted by filmmaker Hamid Pourazari, who was also present at the park. All the participants were actors, according to the London-based news website Iran Wire.

Since the start of the protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, many Iranian artists have defied the Iranian regime by removing the headscarf.
