The documentary Mother of the Cranes, directed by Iiris Härmä, is about Ellen Vuosalo, who passed away in January at the age of almost 94. She lived alone in Iran and tried to protect a small snowy crane population. Director-screenwriter Iiris Härmä stands in the middle back. Mother of the Cranes is "a strange story that had to be told", a story about nature, humanity and the role of women in both Western countries and Iranian culture.
