IRANIAN YELLOW PAGES Documentary | Netflix

Trying to make his new life in London a success, Reza places an advert in an eccentric newspaper and discovers the Iranian community hidden in plain sight. Directed & Produced by Anna Snowball and Edited & Produced by Abolfazl Talooni. Dotted across London, Iranian-owned shops, exchange offices, and restaurants house newspaper stands stacked with colourful Farsi-language publications. Tucked within their pages are intriguing free ads called the 'Iranian Yellow Pages'. We discover the people behind these adverts; OAPs partying at a lunch club, a lady washing cars, a puppeteer doing shows in the library, many lonely hearts, and a refugee delivery driver who dreams of launching a catering business in order for his wife and son to join him in London. They all want the same thing; to find connections in the lonely city they now call home and reconnection to the complicated country they've left behind.
