The Iran Job is a documentary directed by Till Schauder about Kevin Sheppard, a professional American basketball player, as he plays in Shiraz, Iran for the A.S. Shiraz team (since renamed B.A Shiraz BC) in the Iranian Super League.[1][2][3] The documentary was filmed in Iran in the winter of 2008-2009, a few months before the uprising of Iran's Green Movement.[4]

Christiane Amanpour, Gloria Steinem, Maz Jobrani, Karim Sadjadpour, and Executive Producer Abigail Disney have all expressed support for The Iran Job.[1] In December 2011 the film was invited to a private, work-in-progress screening at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C. moderated by Karim Sadjadpour.[5]

The Iran Job is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. [6]
