With all of the negative press Iran gets in the media, Dutch filmmaker Reinier van Oorsouw decided to visit the country with one question: Is it really that bad?  In this 5-part series, we follow him from Tehran across the desert where he’s warmly invited by local people to dance, to eat, and to learn more about their lives. What emerges is an altogether different portrait of Iran — a safe and modern country for travelers to enjoy, a place with awesome ski resorts, amazing gatherings in the dunes, and pockets of alt culture where kids, just like anywhere else, get stoked on Instagram.
