Description
| Summary: | Our Summer in Tehran transports us into the seldom seen realm of middle class family life in Iran, transcending overt politics for a perspective Western media has little interest in showing. Justine, a Jewish-American filmmaker and former host of the travel series Globe Trekker, takes her 6-year-old son Mateo with her to Tehran where they spend the summer with 3 families: a religious family with ties to the government; a modern, secular family; and a single mom who is an actress. Providing a deeper understanding of Iran at this critical time, Our Summer in Tehran is an intimate and nuanced portrait, not of a nation, but of its people.
