Cannes: Iranian Palme d'Or winner dedicates prize to “all filmmakers who can't work”
Iranian dissident director Jafar Panahi has won the Palme d'Or top prize at the Cannes film festival, using his acceptance speech to urge his country to unite for "freedom".
The latest film from the 64-year-old, "It Was Just an Accident", tells the tale of five ordinary Iranians confronted with a man they believed tortured them in jail.
Panahi has vowed to return to Tehran after the Cannes Festival despite the risks of prosecution. Banned from making films in 2010 and imprisoned twice, he argued that cinema should be a space for free expression.
