7. Private Life
Zendegi-ye Khosoosi charts the life of a man who at the outset of the 1979 Revolution is a zealous revolutionary, but who over the decades evolves into a reformist and fervent antagonist of the Islamic Republic’s conservative establishment. Ebrahim Kiani (Aslani) is the editor of Mardom-e Emrouz (Today’s People), a possible reference to one of the preeminent reformist dailies during the era of Mohammad Khatami’s presidency, Sobh-e Emrooz, headed by Saeed Hajjarian and Ali Reza Alavi Tabar.
