سلام Salam! I’m Alexandra and I’m excited to share with you my documentary project about women doing parkour in Iran.

Never Move Backwards is an intimate portrait of an all female parkour troupe in Shiraz, Iran as they train for competition. The film explores themes of rebellion, youth, escapism, and counterculture set against the backdrop of Iran’s ever mutable cultural identity. My hope is the film is a meditation on confinement, freedom, and boundaries real and imagined.

To bring this vision to life, I need your support. If my project resonates with you and you’re able to contribute, I would be so grateful. Every bit of support—whether a donation, a share, or simply spreading the word—helps me get closer to making this film a reality.
