Michelle Nickelson is in Iran making her film about the people. Here is a link to her blog where she is keeping a diary of her daily experiences.
I am so happy for her. She was suppposed to go there originally in 2009 but the post election protests stalled that endeavor.

She is involved in finding funding for women film makers projects in the Middle East and has an office in Abu Dhabi.
