The London International Documentary Festival (LIDF) has recently announced that Hashem Mortazavian’s “One Pine, One Hundred Sparrows” has been chosen for screening. The festival, which is the oldest and largest of its kind in London, is BAFTA-approved and focuses on contemporary social, cultural, and political issues. Its aim is to promote cross-cultural interaction and discover new talent from around the world. The event will take place from March 11 to March 27, 2022, and will showcase films from various countries in London, England.

Hashem Mortazavian’s feature-length documentary “One Pine, One Hundred Sparrows” was previously shown at the 75th Salerno International Festival in Italy last December. The film tells the story of Amir Shahed, a notary based in Isfahan, who takes it upon himself to educate undocumented children. Upon discovering that his notary office is authorized to host illegal immigrants, he opens a school for these children within his office building. However, he faces several challenges in the process.

“One Pine, One Hundred Sparrows” is a poignant and thought-provoking documentary that sheds light on important social issues. Its selection for screening at the LIDF is a testament to its quality and relevance in today’s world. As a journalist, I believe that this documentary will be a must-see for anyone interested in social justice and the power of education to change lives.
