Iranian short film ‘The War Within’ is set to participate at the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival in the US.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported that ‘The War Within’ will be screened at the 14th edition of the American event.

Written and directed by Javid Farahani, ‘The War Within’ is about a handicapped man who has lost his legs in an accident and is busy in the foreign currency market as a speculator.

He is holding foreign currencies in the hope of selling them at a higher rate to pay the cost of his surgery.

The film is starring Farhad Najafi and Shima Khosheqbal.

‘The War Within’ was previously screened at the 74th Salerno International Film Festival in Italy.

The 14th Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival is slated for November 4-14.
