Image of an Unknown Young Woman

She is a young woman in a yellow dress. She has been shot by the police. As a video goes viral, a revolution begins to stir.

Ali and Leyla are panicking - they uploaded the footage and now the authorities are after them. Across town, Yasmin is desperate to know if her missing mother is still alive. Halfway around the world, a woman in London wants to help. As a tornado of dissent and violence spreads, everyone's life is going to change.

Elinor Cook's 'Image of an Unknown Young Woman' portrays a world of civil war, manipulation, betrayal, media-fuelled activism, and ambiguous morality. We see a young couple torn apart by a seemingly small act of defiance, a British woman trying to align her own pain with that of the people burning abroad, and a desperate daughter trying to find her mother in the ruins.
