This is a little clip I made about my trip to Afghanistan in 2009 as part of a film crew. It is now a finalist at the WOW film festival. This means that the more it is viewed the higher chance it has of winning. Please have a look it and give it a chance to win. I don't know how to insert the video onto this here, but click the link.

Reading Men in Reading Lolita in Tehran

Over the past couple of years, I have been reading and following the debates that have surrounded Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran. I just finished reading Bahmani's blog Stop Reading Lolita in Tehran. Although I agree with Bahmani and all the other debates that have surrounded this book, particularly in relation to the representation of the Iranian women and the allegories that the book draws on the Iranian women and Lolita, I have to draw everyone's attention on the representation of the Iranian man in the book.

And the seeds germinate….
