ROOSTER IN THE DARK, FEATURE DOCUMENTARY
Iran, 1953. In the shadows of Tehran’s impoverished suburbs, a notorious gang of young thugs is recruited to stir chaos and unrest in the streets to shift the tides of politics and change the course of history.

This film goes beyond revealing a historical event. It seeks to uncover the motives, the tangled loyalties, and inner dilemmas of those who were involved. It delves into themes of moral conscience, lasting impact of history, and the existential reckoning that comes with confronting one’s actions and legacy in the twilight of life.
