45 Minutes to Ramallah

Whether as broad farce or documentary reportage, Iranian-born German director Ali Samadi Ahadi's films bridge cultural gaps. His versatile work ranges from the Austrian-German action spoof DIE MAMBA and the culture clash comedy “Salami Aleikum” to the animated documentary “The Green Wave” about protests after the 2009 Iranian elections and LOST CHILDREN (co-directed with Oliver Stoltz), a moving portrait of Ugandan child soldiers and other underage victims of the civil war between the Ugandan government forces and the Lord's Resistance Army.
