Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A World Between is the true story of a young Iranian American raised in the United States, who travels to Iran to discover his father's homeland. His encounters take him across the country, from the teeming capital of Tehran, to the centre of Ancient Persia in Esfahan, and finally to the home of his ancestors Iran's holiest city, Mashhad. In each place we meet his friends and relatives who help form a more representative view of Iranians than we often see in the West. It is the story of one young man's experience, but it speaks volumes to all those who desire to know the place better, both westerners and Iranians living abroad. We see Iran through the narrator's eyes, that understands both Iranian and American sensibilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALMOST LIKE BEING THERE, April 20, 2008
By D. Shearer (California) - See all my reviews
"A World Between" (Jason Rezaian and Nazam Manouchehri)is an extraordinarily well done video about the young son (Jason) of an Iranian-American father and an American mother who travels throughout Iran to discover a world he had only previously known through his father's stories. There is genuine poignancy in the narrative as the viewer watches Jason's reunion with his father's relatives or witnesses his father well up with emotion upon visiting the house he grew up in, now in ruins. But the video's forte is in the masterful way the photographer follows Jason through the streets of Tehran, or Esfahan, or Mashad, evoking a sensation of being "really there" in a way rarely achieved in more formal documentaries. It is visually striking throughout and beautifully paced. It is also enlightening, perhaps especially when the viewer observes Jason's thoughtful and unassuming personality engage the interest of ordinary Iranians who are captivated by (and curious about)his American heritage. This is the film I show to my anthropology classes when I want to provide students with a realistic, down-to-earth depiction of the historical beauty of Iran and the complexity of its inhabitants.

5.0 out of 5 stars see this one, June 23, 2008
Jason, an Iranian-American has a charming, witty way about him and his curiosity and willingness to stay open helped me really begin to understand some of the differences--and likenesses--of Iran.

Estafan, Iran is quickly moving up to #1 of the places I most want to visit in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Look Inside Iran, March 5, 2008
I saw this movie recently and thought it was great. It gives you a look inside everyday Iran, which is not something you get to see from American media. For anyone that follows American-Middle East politics, this movie really is a must see. The movie does not have any political agenda, but it will give you a great deal of perspective about the Iranian culture, whether you are conservative, moderate or liberal.

Additionally it has some amazing shots of Tehran and other cities.
