Driving through Tehran 4 - the Prostitute (Part 1)

A divorcee who has remarried drives around the city taking different people in her car. Her passengers are her son, her sister, two mosque visiting women and a prostitute. In the course of these car trips a few things are revealed about their lives.

Is this a documentary or not you may ask yourself after watching it. In any case it is split into 10 episodes (counting down from 10 to 1).

If you want to post a message, please write in English, French or German as unfortunately I don't understand Farsi/Persian. I won't approve any hateful or insulting comments, but constructive criticism is welcome.

the reporter hasn't done her job nicely...she is not i suppose experienced in her profession. She is not following basic principle of journalism...

[davidon30]

There is no reporter involved.

[slkw680]

The video is real

[davidon30]

It is real, yes, but not a documentary. It's a scripted film.

is this possible in Iran? prostitution? i thought they were very conservative.

[davidon30]

Well, in many countries a great proportion of the population is very religious and prostitution is forbidden but that does not mean that there is no prostitution there.

They need are support , I mean the support from Persian men who are conscious about the pain and sorrow of our mothers, sisters and wifes.Without our support, they will stay in the prison of Islam forever!!!

[Barukh1200]

The women in the Islamic countries are suffering so much. I am also a Persian, and I am getting tears in my eyes when I see our women struggling through the fascism of Islamic policy. Someday I would like to do something for them, now Im only a student who is trying to find his way in this horrible world.

Except in Saudi Arabia, where women get stoned to death, rather than flogged like in Iran. So, women avoid being prostitutes in KSA.

That's what sadly happens with alot of single poor women, who are not provided financial assistance or a good job, they end being prostitutes.

metter of fact, thats the funniest whore ive eva seen in my life

[moorejr1400]

However, according to the commentary by the director Abbas Kiarostami, he could not get a real prostitute, instead he hired an actress to potray one. It is illegal in iran and last thing one would do is appear in a film!!

[AdvenWonder01]

What does the prostitute mean when she says "our men are like that?"

[tehshah9]
