Part of our Short Docs & Narratives: SPOTLIGHT ON IRAN

Director's Statement:
War makes beauties ugly.
War makes life bitter and hard. War transforms the mind-body into the body-animal.
It unites the human and animal bodies.
The war never ends and its effects don't disappear with water and these effects will always be with you and the suffering of the effects of war ends only with death, although life goes on.
