Sussan Taslimi, Parvis Poor Hosseini, Adnan Afravian. Originally produced as a motion picture in 1990. A foreign film (Iran).
Summary:
One of an increasing number of Iranian films arriving in the United States in the wake of the Ayatolla Khomeini's death, this deceptively simple tale of a young boy orphaned by the Iran-Iraq War was made under government sponsorship but banned, presumably for its pacifist sentiments. Bashu offers eloquent universal messages about racial tolerance and the strength of the family.
