"Children of Heaven" from "Axis of Evil"?!

As I keep seeing articles on Iran and its alleged nuclear weapons program, I recall watching this beautiful Iranian movie, Children of Heaven, a few days back. My friends and I were somewhat surprised by the quality of the roads and some posh neighborhoods that were portrayed in the movie as it didn't seem to fit into the stereo-typed image of Iran that we seem to carry in our heads. The story itself is astonishingly simple yet moving and is centered around a young boy, his little sister and a pair of shoes. The movie is not about politicking and so, anybody will enjoy the movie whatever part of the spectrum they belong to-left, right, center, ultra-left...blah..blah...
