Watch ARUSI PERSIAN WEDDING Tonight on Independent Lens

Tonight, tune in and watch ARUSI PERSIAN WEDDING at 10:00 PM on Independent Lens on PBS (check local listings).

Set against the turbulent relationship between the United States and Iran, Iranian-American filmmaker Marjan Tehrani captures the struggle and excitement of her brother Alex and his bride Heather as they plan a Persian Islamic wedding in Iran. But when Alex’s Iranian-born parents and Heather’s conservative American father meet for the first time, cultures clash and test the couple to their limits.

Modern Iranian Online Magazine: “In ARUSI: PERSIAN WEDDING, the brilliant indie-filmmaker gives people outside of Iran a close and insightful look into the country and its people.”

Check out the trailer below:

When Heather’s parents meet Alex’s Dad and stepmother over dinner, their friendly conversation quickly escalates into a heated debate about politics and international diplomacy. Check out the clip below from tonight’s broadcast.

    What a fascinating and beautiful documentary.
    I would love to visit Iran some day.
    I could do without Bush’s statements in the film, the idiot is history now.
