Zero Degree Turn

Kamran keeps sending me articles about Zero Degree Turn: the new Iranian serial about a world war 2 era love affair between an Iranian man and a French Jewish woman and how he helps her escape the Nazis with the help of Iranian diplomats. It's on YouTube now, so we can all watch it.

Update:
If you are interested, we are summarizing episodes as we watch them. Click here for the first two episodes.

I thought women couldn't be shown without a headscarf in the Iranian media? I had heard that it would be blocked out, but has that changed now?

Women can be shown without a headscarf in Iran. They cannot, generally, WORK without a headscarf.

This production was filmed in Paris and Tehran. In Paris, the women could work without headscarves.

First of all, thank you so much for the links and the summaries. I just recently discovered the show and I went to the Persianhub to watch it, but unfortunately, episodes 2 & 3 aren't working.:( Therefore, are there alternative sites or places you know of where I can watch it streaming? Thanks!

yoojini, I could not get the episodes to open on a mac, but they worked on the pc. Make sure you are using the password to unlock the videos.

I don't know where else to look for them.
