    I think we in the west sometimes think of events in far away countries in politically precarious situations as bullet point news items, so I appreciated how personal it was able to make the events it covered as they related to filmmaker’s life, and I found it pretty…

    I thought this was quite effective. Director Pegah Ahangarani does a good job of weaving together the material in an engaging way. I appreciated how personal and intimate it felt.
