Iranian Indie Rock
The new film, “No One Knows About Persian Cats,” explores the underground music scene in Iran. It’s based on the lives of Negar and Ashkan, their imprisonment for playing music, and their efforts to flee Iran. Now in London, the two talk with Kurt about the film and the risks they took to play music in their home country.
