SYNOPSIS
Reza Allamehzadeh, an Iranian-Dutch filmmaker banned from entering his homeland, enlisted the aid of friends who clandestinely filmed inside Iran in order to explore this century old taboo.
IRANIAN TABOO tells the story of an Iranian Baha'i woman, Nadereh and her 14-year-old daughter who decide to sell all of their belongings and leave their homeland, to take refuge in the West.
IRANIAN TABOO takes us across continents from Turkey to Israel, and from the U.S. to Iran and gives us a unique insights into the persecution of Baha'is of Iran -from the underground Baha'i University (BIHE) to the oppressed Baha'i peasants of the Eival village in the northern province of Mazandaran. The film includes never seen before interviews with some of the most respected Iranian scholars, authors and politicians, speaking about the history of Baha'i Faith and its followers in Iran.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
I have made several challenging documentaries during my long career as a filmmaker. Films like "Speak out Turkmen!" on the bloody war between well organized army of the newly established Islamic regime of Iran (1979) and poorly organized Turkmen tribe in the northern Iran. "Holy Crime" on state terrorism of the Islamic government in Europe, which resulted in assassination of more than 80 well-known dissidents, in just one decade. But none of them was as difficult to make as the "Iranian Taboo". In spite of the fact that I'm banned to enter my homeland, I managed to film deep inside Iran, with the help of devoted friends who risked their lives to film the footage that I needed for this film. Organizing and obtaining access to the vast range of the interviewees in this film, from Shirin Ebadi to Abolhassan Banisadr was another challenging point that I managed to overcome.
"Iranian Taboo" is the most personal documentary that I have ever made!
Reza Allamehzadeh -- August 2011

    Jubinne

  • khod risheh akhondha ra bekane ke hich kasi rahm nemikonan.

    akhe man nemifahmam in Bahaiha ke bande khodaha ba kasi kari nadaran, akhe ina ra chera aziat mikanan.

    yeki az behtarin dostaye man bahai ast, vaghti az Daneshgah ekhrajesh karadn majboor shod biad kharej va dars bekhoone, on alan yeki az behtarin Mohandeshaye Oil&Gas dar keshvare Amrikast.

    on vaghti az iran kharej shod tamame mal va amale khodesh va pedaresho mosadere kardan, va zendan kardan.

    man agar khodm nemididam bavar nemikardam.

  • I sympathise with the Bahai cause, but at least religious minorities are accepted with open arms by the West, whereas Moslems have to go through expense and hardship to leave Iran and when they do they face uncertain futures.

    Also, did the Monarchists, Mojahedin, Kords, Sonnis, homosexuals and many many other groups not pay a heavy price under this regime?

  • IN THE LAST 50 YEARS ISRAEL HAS STOLEN MORE THAN 500 THOUSAND DOLLARS PER CAPITA FROM THE USA MONEY TAXES TO BE INVESTED IN WEAPONS BECAUSE OF CORRUPTED POLITICIANS LIKE THE ONE ON THIS VIDEO - WITH THAT MONEY YOU CAN GIVE FOR FREE A BIG HOUSE; AND ELECTRIC OR HYDROGEN CARS TO EACH FAMILY IN ISRAEL - WHAT DID THEY CHOOSE THE IGNORANTS ? TO MAKE WORLD RECORD OF DEBT IN THE USA AND UK AND LOSING MORE THAN 800 BILLIONS DOLLARS IN USA PER YEAR IN OIL FOR NOT INVESTING ON THE RIGHT TECHNOLOGIES -

  • - THE PERSIAN CULTURE DID INTRODUCE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE CONCEPT OF HUMAN RIGHTS - AND THE USA WHO HAS WORLD RECORD OF PEOPLE IN JAIL; WORLD RECORD OF DRUG ADDICTS; WORLD RECORD OF DEBT; WORLD RECORD OF POLICE SHOOTING AND KILLING PEOPLE ON THE STREETS JUST BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THE SKIN; WORLD RECORD OF MODERN SLAVES CALLED ILLEGALS; WORLD RECORD OF CANCER AND HEART PROBLEMS; WANT TO TEACH THEM VALUES WITH BOMBS AND PUNISHMENTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO RESOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS
