Iran's submission to the 93rd Academy Awards makes clear that the people in the US actually have a lot in common with the people of Iran. Majid Majidi's "Khorshid" ("Sun Children" in English) is about a school that helps underprivileged children, and some students who hear of treasure buried underneath the school. Meanwhile, the people running the school have to contend with paying rent. Sound familiar to the predicaments faced by millions in the US?
An impressive movie, and one that shows our common humanity (like in the US, the Iranians have to deal with a government that ignores their needs). I hope to see more movies by Majidi.
