Rayka Zehtabchi: 'Interested in Telling Iranian Stories'

The first Iranian-American woman to win an Oscar, Rayka Zehtabchi, said she wants to build on Sunday’s triumph of her documentary about menstruation by producing several films with Iran- and women-related themes. “I’m very interested in telling Iranian stories as well as women’s stories,” the 25-year-old Los Angeles-based filmmaker told VOA Persian in a Skype interview on Monday.
