Film
(2008, 65 min., Persian with English subtitles, directed by Mohammad Rasoulof, Iran) This documentary takes a searing look inside the Islamic Republic and its losing battle for control over the flow of information that enters the country from the outside world. The film touches on one of the major post-revolution issues by examining Iran's underground satellite, Internet, and DVD culture.
