Azad

An excellent film that moved me immensely, and which also delves into some real tough issues. Female rights in Iran, the horrible effects of land-mines, and how ordinary friendships between a boy and a girl that we take for granted in our every day lives in the United States and elsewhere in the world is something that is not allowed to exist in other parts of the world. A short film of only 20 minutes, I feel that it has moved me enough to want to go out and research more about Iranian culture and female rights in the region. Overall, an incredibly well-directed, beautifully shot, and amazingly performed film. I hope to be seeing more work by this filmmaker.
