Documentary on Ziv Koren stirs controversy in Iran

Iran’s Fajr Film Festival has pulled a documentary concerning Ziv Koren after festival organizers - who had originally approached the film’s producer, Solo Avital – realized the documentary focused on an Israeli photographer covering the current intifada. Avital’s documentary, More Than 1,000 Words, tells the story of photojournalist Ziv Koren and his work covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the past five years.
