Our homegrown antidemocrats, of course, want to view the film solely as an example of the dangers of Islamism. However, those who examine dictatorships are struck more by the similarities in the totalitarian systems, regardless of their political or religious colors.

This documentary can only receive the highest rating. It is credible, genuine, and concerns us all. The director not only tells the story of Roohollah, but also places his fate within our society today, and above all, it is also about the struggle taking place in Iran – a struggle that seems almost forgotten by Swedish politicians.
