In his first documentary series, Haqiqat (Truth) , Morteza Avini (1947 - 1993) uses a handheld camera and off-screen voices. He shows us long interviews with soldiers speaking from the trenches - men 'disinherited' by the Revolution, prepared to sacrifice their lives. Avini's personality and voice, as editor and narrator, are omnipresent in his films. His style influenced a whole generation.
