Belgium to screen ‘Sunless Shadows’

Iranian documentary ‘Sunless Shadows’ has been selected to go on screen at the 12th edition of the Millennium Festival in Belgium.

Made by Mehrdad Oskouee, the documentary narrates the story of five young women who are jailed in a small juvenile detention center for murder.

Through breathtaking monologues, the women clarify the circumstances of the murders and even their motives.
