The Heartbeat of Iran - Tara Kangarlou

The Heartbeat of Iran takes us on a journey into everyday life in Iran, where we meet the diverse people who make up the country''s delicate socio-cultural, political, and religious mosaic. Through portraits of 35 regular Iranians - from a blind Sunni environmental activist to the gay son of a general, from Iran''s first female race car driver to a young rabbi who is training the future generation of Jewish rabbis in Israel''s enemy state - The Heartbeat of Iran reveals a people whose dreams and fears mirror that of millions of others worldwide, and who yearn to join an international community that often views them through the blur of a hostile political fog.
