Tehran/ DC: Axis of Dialogue
A collaboration with Washington DC production company GetzelsGordon and the United States Institute for Peace, Tehran DC: Axis of Dialogue is a online series that follows parallel lives of ordinary people in Tehran and DC; two musicians, two social workers, taxi drivers, politicians, personal trainers and teachers.
