Unveiling of a Saddam Hussein lookalike at the Fajr Film Festival

Ultimately, the unveiling of a Saddam Hussein lookalike at the Fajr Film Festival became a moment of reflection and a call to action. It challenged attendees to confront their own perceptions of history and the narratives that shape their understanding of identity and power.
