Director Majid Majidi is no stranger to making films about poor children in Iran. His film Children of Heaven (1997) was the first Iranian film to be nominated for an Academy Award, and is the 138th highest rated film of all time on IMDB. In order to make Sun Children as realistic as possible, he has actually selected actors for the roles from real street children in Iran. After 4000 auditions, he finally landed on the amazing cast of Sun Children.
