International investigative documentary series. This film tells the story of beautiful Laleh Seddigh, an Angelina Jolie lookalike who has become Iran’s national motor sports champion. Under the sport's rules, she can race directly against male drivers as long as she follows Muslim dress codes. Laleh's story shows that Iranian women occupy a complex role. This is a society where a woman can become an MP or a racing champion, but can still be executed for adultery.
