Born in Iran by Banafcheh Hejazi and Jeanne Pope

Leila and Sara go on a road trip from Montreal to visit Leila's grandmother in New Jersey for her birthday.

At the US border, Tom, an American agent, puts the girls through a ridiculous interrogation because their Canadian passports state they were born in Iran.
"Thank you dear Jeanne. It is an honour to have your creative thoughts which are printed in this film. With your love energy, passion and creative thoughts and encouragement this film can have its own soul finally. Thank you so much". ​Tao Gu - Taming the Horse
"Jeannette taught me the tools I needed, never having made a documentary before. She gave so much time, patience to show me, guide me and share her creativity and skills with me."  Dr. Zou Qialing, Beijing Film Academy, Qingdao Campus
