Emmy Award–winning director Nima Sarvestani delivers not only a powerful story, but also the culmination of a decades-long personal struggle. In 1982, his 19-year-old brother Rostam—one of the many victims of the Iranian regime—was executed for his involvement in a pro-democracy student organization. His death marked the beginning of a lifelong quest for justice. When that proved impossible within Iran, one goal remained: to let the world know what had truly happened.

Together with former political prisoner Iraj Mesdaghi, Sarvestani gathered evidence for years. Their perseverance led to the historic trial in Stockholm, which this gripping documentary recounts.
