politics shouldn't factor into the discussion: many of these directors, and their families, have suffered because of their works.
"The most notable figures of the Iranian New Wave are Abbas Kiarostami, Jafar Panahi, Majid Majidi, Bahram Beizai, Darius Mehrjui, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Khosrow Sinai, Sohrab Shahid-Saless, Parviz Kimiavi, Samira Makhmalbaf, Amir Naderi, and Abolfazl Jalili."
If you are ignorant--- and it appears you are--- of the very easily accessible films of the first three directors mentioned, Netflix or your local well-stocked dvd store can rectify this. You only have your prejudices to lose.
