Water Dam, Soil Dam (2017) is a contemplative documentary that probes into the slow disappearance of Lake Hamoon. The film meanders through the stark landscapes altered by drought, examining the lives of those who once thrived near the water's edge. There's something haunting about the way the images of the dry lakebed juxtapose with memories of its former glory. This contrasts the human stories of migration from Sistan to Golestan and Mazandaran, revealing a poignant narrative about loss and adaptation. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit with the weight of environmental changes. It's a sobering meditation on climate impact, woven with a sense of nostalgia and urgency, showcasing a unique blend of personal and ecological storytelling.
