Iranian films are getting harder to see in theaters in Indy, although I've cuaght several at the Heartland and Indy Film Fests. Thankfully there's a foreign movie fan librarian at my local library. I've had this one on reserve for two months.

The key thing is..these are wonderful movies, worthy of attention no matter where they're from or who they're by. But because of the great risks taken by these filmmakers, and their conviction and perseverence, I feels it's worth the extra effort to seek them out - it's the least we can do.
