Iran has given rise to some incredible filmmakers, who often have defied censorship - and risked their lives - to express truth in their work. Abbas Kiarostami was and remains my favorite, and he managed a career using poetry and artistry to either skirt around or confront delicate political issues, and always aimed to express something revelatory about the human condition. It was a privilege to see a country which has been so at odds with the west through his eyes, and he crafted through pure empathy.

Sometimes in documentary the greatest challenge is to be able to illustrate highly intricate concepts in a way that are both entertaining and fit within the context of what is actually being said. Alex Gibney has become one of America’s most prolific and essential documentarians, and his films always focus on exposing the other side of an unchecked ideology, power or cult of personality (Assange, Lance Armstrong, Enron, Scientology, Theranos, the list goes on). Zero Days is brilliant for the methods by which he illustrates the cyber war between US and Iran, and in particular the Stuxnet virus which infiltrated Iranian nuclear facilities. The use of LIDAR tech to shoot anonymous CIA sources in a documentary setting I had never seen before, but it completely fits.
