Country: Iran
Directed by Kamran Shirdel
One of the 3-4 black and white social documentaries that Kamran Shirdel directed in the pro revolution era 'Tehran is the capital of Iran' blends the Italian neorealism with the French nouvelle vague to depict the extreme poverty of Iranian families that were living in the slums and streets of Tehran without much choices and hopes. As happened with most of Shirdel works this one too got banned and its production stopped before it finished: however, from what is left for us to watch, the film is powerful , the direction and the glance of Shirdel is strong and fresh and his voice for justice is loud
