Niousha Noor joins Kyle Meredith to discuss The Persian Version, a film loosely based on Maryam Keshavarz’s life. The movie, starring Layla Mohammadi and Noor, tells the story of a young, gay Iranian-American woman navigating her relationship with her family, particularly her mother, after getting pregnant from a one-night stand. Noor talks about the film's focus on immigrant family dynamics, the combative mother-daughter relationship, and the significant role of music in the movie. She also mentions her own Persian version of Damien Rice’s “Under The Tongue,” which she plans to release soon.
