Notes
Originally released in 2002 Document en farsi sous-titré en anglais Documenting events surrounding the 2001 Iranian presidential election, director Rakhshan Bani-Etemad works with two groups of women, one old and one young, to contrast divergent political attitudes across the generation gap. At one end of this spectrum is the director's daughter and a group of her friends who form a committee to support the incumbent, President Khatami. On the other end is a group of forty-eight older women running for office on a reform party ticket, despite being thrown off the ballot by an all-male government. The two stories are linked by the story of Arezoo Bayat and her daughter who are simply trying to scratch out a living amid the headier issue of the elections. Cinematographer, Soheil Noruzi ; editors, Piruz Kalantari, Mohsen Abdolvahab, Nava Rohani Cop. : [Iran] : 79 cinema organization, 2002
