Mehrjui stated that he, “enthusiastically took part in the revolution, shooting miles of reels of its daily events.” After the revolution, the censorship of the Pahlavi regime was lifted, and for a time, artistic freedom seemed to flourish in the country. It was reported that the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini saw Gaav on Iranian television and liked it, calling it “very instructive” and commissioning new prints to be made for distribution.
