Letters to the President
Director Petr Lom
Countries
Duration 72 min
Synopsis
Exclusive access critical documentary about President Ahmadinejad and what life is like under his regime. The film takes as its theme and narrative thread the purportedly ten million letters that ordinary Iranians have written to the President asking for his help. The film shows the President's sophisticated and not so sophisticated populist propaganda machine in action - that purports to solve the problems of most of the letters, but in reality seems to get lost in endless bureaucracy and the selling of false dreams.
