Description
 
At the behest of the United Nations, Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami traveled to Uganda to craft this profound and affecting documentary. Kiarostami's film tempers its sadness at the ravaging effects of AIDS, famine, and poverty, with a celebration of the courage and joy of his subjects. By acting as a participant in the events he captures, Kiarostami crafts a work "of seemingly limpid transparency and tremendous, understated compassion" (Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune). In English and Farsi with English subtitles.

Abbas Kiarostami---Iran---2001---83 mins.
