About This Movie

Intentional Crime is a deeply affecting documentary that immerses you in the tragic last days of Baktash Abtin. The film holds a somber tone as it explores the layers of injustice and oppression faced by the Iranian regime. There's a rawness to the atmosphere, enhanced by stark visuals and the haunting absence of vital medical care. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, which underscores the gravity of Abtin's story, allowing the audience to digest the harsh realities presented. It touches on themes of freedom, human rights, and the cost of creativity under oppression. What stands out is the lack of dramatization—just the stark truth of Abtin’s life and untimely death, leaving a lingering sense of sorrow and indignation.
