Journalist Aida Amini talks with author Behzad Karim Khani about his new book, about Iran and about life as an Iranian exile. In Warum es keine Flucht war (Aufbau Verlag, 2026), Behzad Karim Khani conducts conversations with Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasulof, who was imprisoned several times for political reasons and fled Iran in 2024. The conversations address self-understanding as an artist, as an Iranian, the Woman-Life-Freedom movement, the notorious Evin prison, his escape, and artistic creation as a sign of freedom. The book ends in February 2026, after the Iranian regime shot dead tens of thousands of protesting people on the streets.
Aida Amini extends the conversation with her perspective on developments in Iran and debates with Behzad Karim Khani about the expectations and hopes for the people in Iran.
