Kevin’s season in Iran eventually 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 currently unfolding across the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring.
In THE IRAN JOB director Till Schauder reveals the human, often humorous, and sometimes heartbreaking sides of Iran, giving us access to a country often hidden in mystery. The film’s soundtrack features some of the most cutting-edge Iranian rap and hip-hop artists, including Shahin Najafi, Jaduguaran, and ZedBazi. The Kickstarter campaign to fund the film was one of the most successful crowd-funding campaigns since the site’s launch, generating major media hits and donations for finishing funds from all over the world.
THE IRAN JOB is directed by Till Schauder and produced by Schauder and Sara Nodjoumi. The film is Executive Produced by Abigail Disney and co-produced by Michael Reuter and Rebekka Garrido. Editing is by David Teague, with original music by Kareem Roustom. For more information visit http://theiranjob.com/
