Oscar-winning actors Marion Cotillard and Juliette Binoche, as well as other French stars of screen and music, filmed themselves cutting off locks of their hair in support of protesters in Iran.

In a video posted Wednesday, Binoche said, “For freedom,” as she hacked a large handful of hair off the top of her head with a pair of scissors, before brandishing it in front of the camera.

The video of Cotillard, Binoche and dozens of other women cutting off locks of their hair was released on an Instagram account, “soutienfemmesiran” — which translates as “support women in Iran.”

“We have decided to respond to the appeal made to us by cutting — us too — some of these locks.”

“These women, these men are asking for our support. Their courage and their dignity obliges us,” said a post with the video.
