Press/Media: TV Interview/Appearance
Director Mohammad Rasoulof is one of Iran’s most well-known filmmakers. But his most recent film, “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” isn’t being shown in a single theater across the country. And Rasoulof, himself, has had to flee. That’s because the film calls out Iran’s authoritarian regime. The World’s Bianca Hillier reports.

| Description | The World, public radio’s longest-running daily global news programme, engages US audiences with international affairs through human-centred journalism that connects the global to the local. A co-production of PRX and GBH, it has broadcast from Boston since 1996, addressing the lack of international news in commercial media. With 2.5 million weekly US listeners and a global reach via digital platforms, The World focuses on global security, gender, the environment, migration, and public health. By amplifying underrepresented voices and contextualising global events, it highlights the interconnectedness of the US and the ever-shifting global order. |
