THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG (Iran, 2024) Dir: Rasoulof

Newly appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran, Iman soon learns that his role
isn't to seek justice but to approve the harsh verdicts of his superiors, including death
sentences. As public unrest swells and his own gun goes missing, his paranoia
intensifies and he turns his brutal interrogation methods on his own wife and
daughters. Filmed secretly and smuggled out of Iran, this is a tense, powerful
condemnation of a tyrannical regime.
