Our Summer in Tehran (2009)
A film everyone should see
This beautiful little film is an essay in the goodness of people and the tyranny of despotic governments. The Iranian people are shown as a kind, loving and inclusive bunch in this wonderful little film. This is not a piece about the radical Islam or terrorism that much of the west stereo typically associates with the Islamic Republic but a film about normal families doing what families do all over the world. I was touched by the warmth expressed by the Iranian participants and angered by the decision of the administration to cut short the project for no other reason than their sheer bloody mindedness. I saw this on television. The world would be a better place if this was on prime time TV rather than endless talent quests and competitive cooking shows.
