Ash Koosha and Negar Shaghagai are young Iranian rock singers. They star in a film called 'No one know about Persian Cats', which charts the story of Tehran's underground rock scene. On Saturday the film debuts at the London film festival and next week it will screen at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. See a short film trailer here.
Although the film is a drama, their story is real. The movie is part fiction, part documentary. They are very much part of Tehran's music scene and they have suffered at the hands of a political establishment unwilling to accept their form of art. Some members of their rock group have spent time in jail after being caught performing at illegal outdoor rock concerts.
