The Iran Job
Saturday, April 6th, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
The acclaimed documentary The Iran Job will be screened in Windsor Terrace this weekend. The filmmakers will be available to discuss the film after the showing. They are Till Schauder and Sara Nodjoumi, parents of students at P.S. 154.
A description of the film from its website:
"The Iran Job follows American basketball player Kevin Sheppard as he accepts a job to play in one of the world’s most feared countries: Iran.
With tensions running high between Iran and the West, Kevin tries to separate sports from politics only to find that politics is impossible to escape in Iran.
"Along the way he forms an unlikely alliance with three outspoken Iranian women. Thanks to these women, his apartment turns into an oasis of free speech, where they discuss everything from politics to religion to gender roles.
"Kevin’s season in Iran culminates in something much bigger than basketball: the uprising and subsequent suppression of Iran’s reformist Green Movement – a powerful prelude to the sweeping changes across the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring."
The Iran Job is suitable for ages 12 and up. Length: 90 minutes. Released in 2012.
