Do you know what cameras they used? Quality makes me think it's probably a DSLR

A camera mounted on dashboard can work like a dashcam but doesn't make it a dashcam.
For example:
Works as a dashcam but not a dashcam that we think of here in DCT.

Not this one either...

Not this one either...

I think you got the idea...

So unless we know it's actually a dashcam, it can be any of the above and more.

He actually smuggled one of his previous films out of Iran to Cannes using a flash drive hidden inside a birthday cake!

It's amazing what they can do these days with these little cameras - wasn't one done recently that was shot totally on an iPhone?

Don't worry, he's on the good hands; he will get out sooner. There are always activist for human rights, for example, Saudi Arabia: http://www.mintpressnews.com/wikile...udi-arabia-on-un-human-rights-council/210117/
"In September 2015, Faisal bin Hassan Trad, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, has been elected Chair of the United Nations Human Rights Council panel that appoints independent experts. UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer said: "It is scandalous that the UN chose a country that has beheaded more people this year than Isis to be head of a key human rights panel. Petro-dollars and politics have trumped human rights." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Human_Rights_Council
