Iranian filmdirector Behrouz Afkhami worked for the past four years on a film about the life of ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamitic Republic of Iran.
The film, Farzand-e Sobh (The Morning's Child) is set to be released in Iran in February during the official celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
Without wanting to be a biography, the film focuses on Khomeini's childhood in his parents' home in the city of Khomein.
But it also includes Khomeini's sermons railing against the rule of the shah in the 1960s which led to his arrest by the SAVAK secret police and exile from Iran.
The film was suggested by the institute charged with promoting Khomeini's work.
A large percentage of Iran's predominantly youthful population were too young to have even been born when Khomeini was alive.
Akhami made his name with a number of social dramas, including Shokaran (Hemlock).
He also was a member of the reformist parliament between 2000-2004.
The director also said that the shooting of Farzand-e Sobh was not always smooth and sometimes they received threats and warnings from some regarding the choices for the cast.
