- Summary:
- Allowed to travel on several of President Ahmadinejad's populist trips to the countryside, the filmmaker, Petr Lom, portrays him as more of an ordinary, charismatic politician than a dictator. The Iranian government claims that Ahmadinejad has received 10 million letters from poor Iranians asking for assistance. Lom concludes that promises and propaganda help resolve the problems cited by the citizens in most cases.
