"Secret Ballot"
2001
Directed by Babak Payami

In this road comedy a female polling official travels through remote villages collecting votes on election day, accompanied by a disgruntled military border guard. Based on a story idea by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Secret Ballot finds the humor and the humanity in Iran's struggle toward democratic reform and the even more difficult road women must travel there. "...a parable-like portrait of the irresistible forces of modernization and democracy meeting the immovable inertia of tradition..." (Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Farsi with English subtitles.  105 minutes.
