NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT PERSIAN CATS (2009)

Cast

Plot

Non-religious music is banned in the Mullah's Republic of Iran and this is the recreated story of two brave musicians scouring the underground scene for fellow band members. Together with a hand-held camera we explore the cellars of an alternative Tehran, where the culturally repressed live a forbidden existence and dream of escape to the West. A top notch personal project from a Kurdish director who, with the two leads, has been forced to flee his homeland. You may not love all the music, rap, heavy metal et al, but you will be impressed with the attitudes of the few.
