The River Still Has Fish

Director: Mojtaba Mirtahmasb

Documentary | 42 Mins

Synopsis

Yesterday the river was alive. Roaring, pure and full of fish. But today the river is only a narrow brook without fish that only contain corpses of dead animals and sewage from surrounding houses and shops. In this situation, an artist (Dr. Ahmad Nadalian) by carving images of fish on the stones of the river-bed, keeps alive the memory of water and fish.
