Prisoner of Tehran is an extraordinary tale of faith and survival. Marina Nemat, brought up as a Christian, experienced a peaceful childhood in Tehran until the Iranian Revolution of 1979 changed everything. After expressing her discontent about her math lessons being replaced by Koran study, Marina was arrested one fateful evening.

She was taken to the notorious Evin prison, where interrogation and torture were part of the daily routine. At just sixteen, she was sentenced to death. Her prison guard, however, saved her from the execution but at a shocking price: marriage to him and conversion to Islam.

Marina lived out her prison days as his secret bride, grappling with complex emotions of hatred and gratitude. When her husband was murdered by his enemies at Evin, Marina's life took another dramatic turn.

Eventually, she returned to her family, but under the constant watch of the regime. Her story is a profound reflection on the cost of freedom and the resilience of the human spirit.

Prisoner of Tehran offers an intimate glimpse into revolutionary Iran and stands as a testament to the power of love in the face of evil and injustice.
