Taxi Tehran (2015)

Jafar Panahi directs himself, Hana Saeidi and Nasrin Sotoudeh in this found footage mockumentary where banned from making movies by the Iranian government, Jafar Panahi poses as a taxi driver and assembles a movie about social challenges in Iran.

If your government forced you to stop doing what you were great at would you become a taxi driver? And would you film your interactions with passengers? And what if many of those conversations happened to just naturally be about justice, censorship and cinema? Cute in the face of a regime.
