In Search of Farideh is a deeply moving 2020 Iranian documentary following Farideh, a woman abandoned as an infant at the shrine of Imam Reza and raised by a Dutch family in the Netherlands. Forty years later, she returns to Iran for the first time in search of her roots — and discovers three different families each claiming to be her own.
Directed by Azadeh Mousavi and Korosh Atai, the film is a profound meditation on identity, belonging, and the pull of cultural memory. It was selected as Iran's official submission to the 2020 Academy Awards.
