O NE WEEKEND in 2012, an atheist film-maker discussed secularism and the compulsory wearing of the hijab (headscarf), among other topics, with four Iranian mullahs. Mehran Tamadon, the film-maker, recorded the whole thing, hoping to initiate a dialogue with the supporters of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The resulting documentary, “Iranian”, had the opposite effect. Iranian intelligence agents confiscated Mr Tamadon’s passport in 2012 and, on returning it, told him to leave the country. He has not returned since.
2012年，一位无神论电影制片人在2012年的周末讨论了世俗主义和戴头巾（头巾）的强制性佩戴，以及其他主题，以及四个伊朗毛拉。电影制片人Mehran Tamadon录制了整件事，希望与伊朗伊斯兰共和国的支持者进行对话。由此产生的纪录片“伊朗人”具有相反的效果。伊朗情报人员在2012年没收了塔玛登先生的护照，并在返回时告诉他离开该国。从那以后他就没有回来。
