In March 2012, the Iranian movie A Separation by Asghar Farhadi won the Oscar Award for the Best Foreign Language Film. For the Iranian people this was more than a cinematic award. This time the Iranian people’s voice was heard through someone other than the government officials. When sanctions and threats of war with Iran dominated the world headlines, Farhadi talked about Iran’s love for peace and the rich culture of the Iranians on the stage when receiving his award. This documentary shows the reaction of the Iranians to this Oscar award, and portrays a general view on Iran’s society of today.
