Unveiling of a Saddam Hussein lookalike at the Fajr Film Festival

As the festival continued, discussions surrounding the lookalike transformed into broader conversations about the importance of remembering the past while also envisioning a future free from the shadows of tyranny. The event not only honored the legacy of cinema but also encouraged participants to engage with their history critically. For many, the lookalike of Saddam Hussein became a symbol of both the past's burdens and the potential for reconciliation and healing through artistic expression.
