It was the first film I (Jørgen Leth) saw, and I must say I was never in doubt. It represents for me some of the best qualities in documentary film making. It wants to examine reality, and it explores with subtlety and elegance one of the most complex and explosive situations of today's world, the confrontation between opposition and regime in Iran. The filmmaker Tamadon Mehran (who lives in Paris) says in the film that he is "asking questions in order to understand". That is for me the universal virtue of documentary films. To say (with my words: "I don't know, I will see where it leads me").
