The Seed of the Sacred Fig is an extraordinary film from renowned Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof. The entire film was shot in secret in Tehran, before the director and key cast were forced to flee under threat of arrest by authorities. Since then, this dramatic thriller has been nominated for over 80 international film awards including the Academy Award for Best International Feature, a Golden Globe and the Palme D'Or.
