Sample Text
This film tells the story of Mohammad, who after a year in Tehran learning to read Braille, returns to his village with his widowed father. His Father fears that a blind son will prevent him from marrying again, so he puts Mohammad into an apprenticeship program as a carpenter. The Color of Paradise is a painfully beautiful film about a blind boy's ability to see more than others who are bound by tradition and religion. Filmed with mainly amateur actors, this is an award winning and critically acclaimed film. Awards: Best Film and Best Actor at Cinemanila (Philippines) International Film in 2000; Festival Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor at Valenciennes (France) Film Festival in 2000; Best Director at Isfahan Children and Young Adults Film Festival in 2000; Best Film at Fajr (Tehran) International Film Festival in 1999; Grand Prix Americas Award for Best Film at Montreal World Film Festival in 1999.
