Sosan Taslimi; A woman who fought and won

In 1987, with several banned or censored films behind her, she left Iran for Sweden. She continued her theatrical activities and in 2001 played her first role in a Swedish theater by appearing in a production of the Greek classical tragedy “Medea” by Euripides. At the time she was still not fluent in Swedish but this did not stop her. She worked for nine straight months and mastered her lines.

After her appearance in “Medea 2,” the Swedish Academy selected Taslimi as best actress of the year.
