JAMSHID MAHMOUDI
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
When I was a child. I fled to Iran with mv familv and until now in mv thirties I’m still living in Iran as an afghan Refugee! So, I can understand with all my heart the millions of Afghan refugees’ feelings as a result of unfair laws and rules. For instance, it’s not legal for an Iranian to donate an organ ot theirs to an Arghan. Once more in my second film, as a director and scriptwriter I have tried to be the voice of my compatriots hoping that the power of cinema could raise people’s awareness and change the laws
