Zire Hokm ("Under the Sentence") is an Iranian documentary written and directed by Saeed Keshavarz, produced by Mehdi Hosseini, which premiered at the 19th Zagreb Documentary Festival in Croatia. The film offers an intimate, close-up portrait of a family whose father has been sentenced to death, following the emotional weight and daily consequences that ripple through the household as they live under the shadow of the verdict and imprisonment.
Rather than a distant exposé, Zire Hokm stays close to its subjects, capturing raw, unfiltered moments of grief, hope, and resilience. It's essential viewing for anyone drawn to socially engaged Iranian documentary cinema and stories that humanize the hidden cost of capital punishment.
