How Samira madet The Blackboard is the making of Samira Makhmalbaf's film. It isn't only that. In a constant flow, the audience goes back and forth from magical moments in Cannes, where Samira Makhbakbaf's films were twice selected in 1998 and in 2000, to the ultimate poverty of the Iranian population living at the Iraqi boarder. It definitely shows the conditions of the shooting, but mainly focuses on the director who happens to be Maysam Makhmalbaf's own sister.
