Stronger Than a Bullet

A war photographer during the Iran–Iraq war whose heroic photos sent many young soldiers to the front line is now tormented by nightmares of dying comrades pleading for help. He traverses landscapes filled with silent witnesses in search of people he photographed at the time, hoping to meet a few of those who survived. Stronger Than a Bullet is a stylish portrait and a powerful essay on ideology and the power of the image. (ÍRÁN:CI Film Festival)
