Born in Evin (2019)

Born in Evin unravels the intricate tapestry of actress and filmmaker Maryam Zaree's life, as she embarks on a poignant journey to unravel the tumultuous events enveloping her birth within the foreboding walls of one of the world's most infamous political prisons. Forty years have lapsed since the Shah of Iran's monarchy crumbled, replaced by the Islamic Republic. In the politically charged 1980s, Ayatollah Khomeini, the self-proclaimed religious authority, orchestrated a reign of terror, resulting in the arrest, persecution, and extermination of countless political dissenters, including Maryam's parents. After enduring years of captivity, they found refuge in Germany, shrouding their torment and incarceration in a blanket of silence. Braving this long-standing hush, Maryam Zaree embarks on a quest, delving into her past to unlock the mysteries of her birthplace and the circumstances that led to her unconventional entry into the world.
