A sensation among Iranians, pioneering journalist Mina Akbari’s documentary reviews the
last 20 years of Iranian reformist press, opening with a photograph of a group
of seventy journalists taken about twenty years ago in Tehran’s Javanan Square.
Of those, only six continue to work in their profession —many of which have
fled, been arrested, or left the field. Interviewing many of the journalists
from the now-banned Jame’e newspaper, she uncovers the repression journalists
have suffered in Iran. (Iran, 2019, 70min.,
