Copenhagen, Denmark, November 9th, 2014: “The safest thing is to stay quiet and do as you are told,” says Iranian exiled documentarist Ahmad Jalali Farahani (38). “But I could not do that, and yet I was not a political activist. So when the mullah regime imprisoned me for the 3rd time, tortured me and similar persecuted my friends and coworkers I had to take the conclusion, that I am a journalist and film maker and I could only work abroad.
