It Was Just an Accident is a film inspired by Jafar Panahi’s time in prison for speaking out against the Iranian government.

“I sensed that I had to do something about the people who were still inside.”

Should Panaji return to Iran he will face another year in prison.

I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin'
Like I'm born to be
We dreamin' hard, we came so far
Now I believe

We're goin' up, up, up
It's our moment
You know together we're glowin'

“We arrived at Puerta del Sol and a group of people started throwing stones at us while shouting at the top of their lungs: 'faggots, faggots.' And we ran so they wouldn't hit us. And Federico [García Lorca] says: 'The worst thing is that we're not.' And Dalí: 'Yes, yes: we are.'”
