It concludes in a shrimp processing plant on Abadan's outskirts, where women bused in from surrounding villages work in a furious, relentless race for wages.A winner of the RIDM 2023 New Vision Award, Meezan is a work of pure observation. It arrives in Kansas City at a moment when its portrait of Iranian life feels more urgent than ever.About Doc TurtleneckDoc Turtleneck is a screening series dedicated to non-fiction films that challenge traditional notions of truth.
