OT? There is an absolutely beautiful movie out on Afghani/Iranian relationships (because of all the Afghan refugees in Iran)- it is called Baran. I highly recommend it. Baran (2001) Starring: Hossein Abedini, Zahra Bahrami Director: Majid Majidi Synopsis: Social melodrama about an Iranian construction worker whose job is impacted by a poorly paid illegal Afghani immigrant. Although at first he responds with prejudice, he undergoes a personal transformation after he discovers her gender. (Miramax) Runtime: 94 minutes MPAA Rating: PG - for language and brief violence. Genres: Drama, Foreign Country of Origin: Iran Language: Persian And for the BEST look at Bosnia ever- see No Man's Land. No Man's Land (2001) Starring: Branko Djuric, Rene Bitorajac Director: Danis Tanovic Synopsis: Moving, sometimes darkly funny drama about two soldiers — one Bosnian Muslim and one Bosnian Serb — trapped in between enemy lines with another soldier lying on top of a live mine. Unusual anti-war drama insists there is no such thing as neutrality as it skewers the UN and the news media for their roles in the Bosnian conflict. (MGM) Runtime: 98 minutes MPAA Rating: R Genres: Drama, Foreign, Suspense, War Country of Origin: Bosnia Language: Serbo-Croatian (i also thought Beautiful People was also a fantastic movie on this subject)
