Bahman Ghobadi first came to the movie world's attention in 2000, when his first feature film, "A Time for Drunken Horses," won the prize for best first feature at the Cannes Film Festival. The film was the first Kurdish language movie ever to gain worldwide attention.
Since then Ghobadi has made three more features, all in the Kurdish language. His most recent, "Half Moon," is currently banned in Iran though it has been shown in festivals around the world. Link TV's 17-minute profile of Ghobadi provides a fascinating introduction to the work of a filmmaker who has riveted audiences around the world with his courageous and deeply affecting films about Kurdish life on the Iranian-Iraqi border.

We made contact with award-winning Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi (HALF MOON, TURTLES CAN FLY, A TIME FOR DRUNKEN HORSES), and discussed how best to go about this. We decided to commission five up-and-coming Iranian filmmakers, two of them as young as 10 and 13, to produce a series of short videos on the themes of war and peace. Ghobadi's company, Tehran based MIJ Productions, co-produced.
About 'The Soldier and the Road'
This quiet film speaks to universal feelings of loss during wartime; without saying a word. An elderly woman makes a long hike through the snow-covered hills to meet a soldier at the side of the road. What she receives from the soldier can never replace what she has lost.

It was the first film to be made in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
The film is set in a Kurdish refugee camp on the Iraqi-Turkish border on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq. Thirteen-year-old "Satellite" (played by Soran Ebrahim) is known for his installation of dishes and antennae for local villages who are looking for news of Saddam Hussein and for his limited knowledge of English. He is the dynamic, but manipulative leader of the children, organizing the dangerous but necessary sweeping and clearing of the minefields.
The industrious Satellite arranges trade-ins for unexploded mines. He falls for an orphan named Agrin (Avaz Latif), a sad-faced girl traveling with her disabled, but smart brother Henkov, who appears to have the gift of clairvoyance. The siblings care for a three year old child, whose connection to the pair is discovered as harsh truths are revealed.
