Premiering at TIFF '23, Jasmin Mozaffari's Motherland tells the story of Babak, an Iranian immigrant who has found love in America in 1979. However, this is also a time when Iranians are viewed with suspicion on American soil. After accepting an invitation to meet his fiancé’s parents, he nervously attempts to connect with his potential in-laws. In this 1on1, we speak to Mozaffari about bringing her family story to life, the tension between homes and being 'sold a lie'.
