Iran's #WomanLifeFreedom movement sparked the most significant women-led uprising of the decade. In this gripping episode, Dr. Phil speaks with Jonathan Harounoff, Israel's UN International Spokesperson and author of Unveiled: Inside Iran's #WomanLifeFreedom Revolt, about what's truly happening inside Iran as the world looks away. Harounoff shares powerful firsthand stories of women blinded by security forces, families of prisoners executed without evidence, and young protesters risking everything for basic rights. Dr. Phil examines the psychology of life under authoritarianism, the collapse of global activism, and how misinformation shaped the world's understanding of Iran. A compelling, human-centered discussion exposing the courage and trauma behind a revolution still unfolding.
