An incredible compilation of six Iranian documentaries and narratives. Both thought-provoking and brave, several of the topics covered are taboo in their country, but these directors and filmmakers take a chance to explore and expose, inform and celebrate. We had several incredible Iranian films submitted this year - it was hard to select just a few for our Spotlight.
