- DirectorJamsheed AkramiStarsAsghar FarhadiBahman FarmanaraBahman GhobadiThe international success of Iranian cinema over the past decades may have veiled the fact that Iranian filmmakers work under extremely harsh circumstances rarely seen in other national cinemas.

It features insightful interviews with 12 Iranian filmmakers, including the internationally-acclaimed directors Jafar Panahi, Bahman Ghobadi, and the Oscar-winning Asghar Farhadi (A Separation) The Film also documents the brave efforts of the filmmakers whose defiance and subversion of the codes have been be punished by being banned from working, imprisonment, and forced exile.
