I saw the "Queen and I", it's by Nahid Persson Sarvestani. It was a good question and an awkward moment, but the movement of the 60s, from the Paris '68 radicals, to the Prague Spring, or the American New Left, were mostly followers of Herbert Marcuse and their slogan was "neither east or west". I felt that the filmmaker actually let Farah off the hook, too much taruf/tarof. The part that made me cry was the old man who tells Nahid to please tell the Queen about how he was tortured into naming names, and thus, destroying lives and families, a heavy guilt with which he has to live all of his life. And I didn't buy Farah's response to Nahid about writing her and asking the Queen to help her and her ailing mother, who was a poor carpet weaver. Although, as a human being, I feel for her loss: her daughter, Layla, and her son, Ali-Reza's suicides. But, what of all the mothers who lost young sons and daughters in the torture chamber's of the Shah's SAVAK? Or the billions of dollars of Iranian money they stole that enables her and her family to live in Paris and Washington? My humanity for Farah rather fades quickly when I look at my own mother who comes home each day from work with back pain and says "thank god I have a job... or else we'd be homeless."
