The Newborns 1979
captures rare scenes of everyday life on the streets of Tehran in the
months following the revolution of 1979 — that somewhat utopian period between
revolutionary violence and the formation of a full fledged Islamic Republic
when a bright future seemed possible, if not probable
In this Tehran, we witness books carrying conflicting ideologies sold
openly on the streets, laborers debating as to the wages they have been
promised, and young men donning Arab garb to have their portrait taken with a
Yasser Arafat backdrop. We also witness extended scenes from three different
political plays, along with street theatre in a park where a performer imitates
various iconic pop singers, political figures, and even the Shah himself
