Desperate mother cries in Fajr fest screening

Here is a video showing a desperate mother who happened to be the real-life character of an emotionally charged and powerful film screened at the 2023 edition of Fajr Film Festival.

The weeping mother went to media reporters after the movie was screened, asking for the release of her son, who was abducted by the anti-Iran terrorists of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO).

'Colonel Sorayyah' directed by Leili Aj narrates the story of this mother's suffering and how MKO terrorists have enslaved her son and some other young Iranians.  

The flick depicting this mother's plight was an intense reminder of the pain and suffering faced by other Iranian mothers suffering from MKO terrorists.

It is also a testament to the power of storytelling through film and its ability to evoke powerful emotions and highlight real-world stories.

For those who watched this film, it provided a reminder of the power of art to bring such stories to life.

The Fajr International Film Festival coincides with the Ten-Day Fajr ceremonies across Iran.

Since its establishment in 1982, the festival has played a vital role in the development of Iranian Cinema.

The 41st Fajr International Film Festival concludes on February 11.
