Why did Golshifteh Farahani’s coverage of 13 Badur become controversial?

I feel this is the reason previous uprisings, some more violent and brutally suppressed, did not succeed and did not attract the same attention worldwide. I guess since there are many misperceptions about our region, it is hard to believe that it can also be a source of inspiration. We are used to hearing about terrorists blowing themselves up. We read about the medieval practices of the State. We watch TV reports showing women covered from head to toe who are not allowed to ride bicycles or drive cars.
