Episode description

The Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof risked everything to make his new political thriller, “The Seed of the Sacred Fig.” He had already been arrested, sentenced and imprisoned in Iran for making films that authorities found to be "propaganda against the system,” so he had to shoot his latest film entirely in secret. Mohammad sits down with Tom Power to explain how he managed to direct the film far away from the set, and why the critical success of “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” has been bittersweet.
