Majid Majidi, director and writer of the much-acclaimed “The Children of Heaven” has again proven to the world that he is able to demonstrate weighty ideas through simple depictions of everyday life in Iran. He shows audiences that his country is not just a place where reform movements, revolutions, and embassy seizing take place; but also where beautiful films are made. His new motion picture; “The Color of Paradise” is a real treat. It is about faith and belief, unconditional love and compassion, hardship and hope; and is both powerful and effective. The lead character is a blind 8-year-old boy named Mohammad (Mohsen Ramezani). He is filled with compassion and has unlimited abilities to reach out to the world around him. This inspiring Iranian film is screened to celebrate the International Day of Disabled Persons on December 3rd.
