Montana Tucker unveiled a powerful new dance video Wednesday celebrating Iranian women's resistance against Tehran's oppressive regime, the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) said in a statement. The American dancer, singer, actress, and social media influencer partnered with the Israel-based Shiraz Dance Ensemble for the performance.
The video, titled "Woman, Life, Freedom," features choreography by Iris Delshad Maymon and was filmed in Jaffa, Israel. Throughout the piece, the production highlights brave Iranian women who have faced the regime's brutality, including Mahsa Amini, Nika Shakarami, Ahoo Daryaei, and Parastoo Ahmadi.
"This is dedicated to the women of Iran who stood fearlessly in the face of fanaticism and brutality to fight for their basic human rights," Tucker said. "Iranian women must be supported in this fight. Israeli women, too, know the brutal impact of this regime and its proxies."

The video quickly went viral after its release on Tucker's social media platforms, reaching millions of viewers worldwide. Among those sharing the content was Noor Pahlavi, a prominent gender equality advocate and daughter of former Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi.
Natalie Sanandaji, CAM Public Affairs Officer and a Persian American Jewish survivor of the Oct. 7 Nova music festival attack, coordinated the project. "Under the shadow of the Islamic regime, the women of Iran are not just battling for their rights – they are fighting for their lives," Sanandaji said. "For too long, their voices have been silenced, and their basic liberties denied. Yet, despite the brutality they endure, they continue to resist with inspirational strength."
This marks Tucker's third collaborative dance video with CAM. Her previous works include "I'm a Survivor," honoring Israeli hostages in Gaza, and "We Can Dance Again," commemorating the 364 victims of the Nova music festival attack. These videos have accumulated tens of millions of views across social media platforms.
