Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi has been jailed, gone on hunger strike and even sold his house to pay bail – all for the right to make movies. After winning the Palme d’Or at Cannes and being selected to represent France at the Oscars, he’s now releasing his new film “It Was Just an Accident”, inspired by his own imprisonment. In this interview, Panahi explains to Eve Jackson why every film is worth the risk.
