More than just a movie

This movie has a real life feel to it since it was shot on location with real people as actors in only 17 days. However it is not a documentary since it injects a plot into these musicians’ lives, a plot that is the most important issue facing young Iranians today. The limitations in Iran from both governmental and economical perspective leave the educated young with a deep desire to leave Iran to pursue their dreams. This movie leaves you thinking and wanting to do more for these kids. The clips from everyday life in Tehran are amazing and allow for the viewer to get a feel of what a normal person would see on a daily basis living and commuting in the city. I actually grew up in Tehran and was lucky enough to leave when I was 16. The movie brought back many memories. I only wish that some of administration officials, congressmen, or even Obama would watch this movie and would open their eyes to the truth in Iran. The broad sanctions and refusal to engage only strengthen the right wingers ability to use United States as an enemy and to clamp down on the democratic forces. The visa limitation enforced as whole on Iranians leave even the most pro American families disillusioned and with no way out. The lack of opportunities has lead Iran to have the highest drug addiction rates. We need to open the cultural exchange doors to the young Iranians who are a talented and educated bunch who could help us with our shortages especially in the medical arena. These kids are wholly on the side of Americans and it would be a shame to look back in 10 years and see them gone to waste.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
