SHAHRBANOO
One of the most popular fiIms on lran to air on PBS!
The encounter of an American woman with a super-conservative lranian famiIy Iiving in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Tehran was sureIy not an accident waiting to happen. At the center of the story is Melissa, an American woman who visits her new husband's famiIy at their home in Tehran. There, she is befriended by Shahrbanoo, who, unbeknownst to her own famiIy, has been moonlighting as Melissa's mother-in-law's housekeeper for more than a quarter of a century. Shahrbanoo invites MeIissa (and her husband, with his ever-present camera in tow) to a famiIy gathering where she is treated to an intense culturaI exchange about subjects ranging from women's place in society to American foreign poIicy. But this is not a movie about poIitics. Rather, it's an aIternatively hilarious, harrowing and heartrending testimony to the hidden ties that connect us across vast culturaI guIfs.
