Fariba

About This Movie

So, this film, 'Fariba,' directed by Mithaq Kazimi, is quite the heavy watch. It’s a documentary, and it dives deep into the injustices faced by the Baha'is in Iran, intertwining their plight with the personal story of Fariba, who's currently imprisoned. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to really sit with the material, which feels raw and intimate. Kazimi has this knack for creating a haunting atmosphere that lingers after the credits roll. There's an authenticity to the interviews and footage that makes it feel personal rather than just a political statement. It’s definitely distinctive in its approach, focusing not just on the broader issues, but on the individual experience. A moving piece for sure.
