Directors

• Samira Makhmalbaf (segment "Iran")

  In this segment, young Afghan schoolchildren discuss the Twin Towers' collapse. Makhmalbaf has said, "When they asked me to talk about 11 September, I thought the whole world had representation except for Afghanistan, so I decided I would be their representative and tell it from their point of view. I didn't want to make it too judgemental. I wanted it to be innocent, through the eyes of the children."
