Jian is joined by Pegah, Raha, and longtime TV producer and screenwriter Mostafa Azizi in the Roqe Studio to debate the question: Are boycotts of Iranian cinema valid? Plus a feature interview in the studio with prolific Iranian film producer, director, and former football player and presenter, Jahangir Kosari, who joins Jian to chat about his life, his work, and his latest film, “I Am Forough,” about renowned poet and filmmaker Forough Farrokhzad, and featuring his daughter, Baran, in the lead role.
