Watch The Iran Job Movie Online No Survey The Iran Job follows American basketball player Kevin Sheppard as he accepts a job to play in one of the world's most feared countries: Iran. With tensions running high between Iran and the West, Kevin tries to separate sports from politics only to find that politics is impossible to escape in Iran. Along the way he forms an unlikely alliance with three outspoken Iranian women. Thanks to these women, his apartment turns into an oasis of free speech, where they discuss everything from politics to religion to gender roles. Kevin's season in Iran culminates in something much bigger than basketball: the uprising and subsequent suppression of Iran's reformist Green Movement - a powerful prelude to the sweeping changes across the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring. -- (C) Official Site Release Date The Iran Job Sep 28, 2012 Limited

Review For The Iran Job
The film takes a distinctly American approach to Iranian matters of gender relations and religious extremism, shedding little light on subjects that are far more complicated than Schauder makes them out to be. Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader I confess to being a sucker for sports movies, the ones with the "Big Game" at the end. "The Iran Job" has all the requisite elements of that cinematic subgenre, but strives for something deeper. Odie Henderson-Chicago Sun-Times This observant documentary avoids pedagogy; it's not always artful, but it has a relaxed, light touch that never topples into pretension. David DeWitt-New York Times This is a complicated, accessible and heartfelt human drama, one that Obama, Romney and Americans of all political stripes should see ... Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com The doc's technique of cutting between warm exchanges and the bellicose rhetoric of then-presidents Ahmadinejad and Bush wears thin with overuse, but the big-hearted Sheppard makes for an amiable tour guide. Sam Adams-Time Out New York "The Iran Job" is one of those documentaries that is sad and hopeful in equal measure and exceptional in its storytelling. Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times The Iran Job locates an absorbing, cross-cultural universality with surprising ease. Brent Simon-Shockya.com As an entry into the Iranian world, Schauder and Nodjoumi made a wise choice with sports, but they made an even better choice with Sheppard. Kate Erbland-Film School Rejects This lively documentary breaks no new ground cinematically, yet its mix of discovery and befuddlement should bring more than sports fans to a basketball story. David D'Arcy-Screen International "The Iran Job" has interesting characters, an insight into Iran's culture and the story of one lonely American who, for a year, was his country's cultural ambassador to Iran. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews ...an amusing cultural fish out of water look at how a big, likable, outgoing Black American basketball player fits into life in Shiraz in southwestern Iran. Then it becomes something more around the halfway mark... Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews Though there's something refreshing, and disturbingly familiar, about Kevin Sheppard's spontaneity, he's certainly not the most interesting thing about the film.
