Plane Grove

The documentary examines Valiasr Street, a key artery that spans seventeen kilometers, linking the south of Tehran to the Alborz mountain range. Initially adorned with over 60,000 plane saplings at its construction, the film reveals that only about eight thousand of these trees remain today, raising questions about urban development and ecological preservation.

Morteza Ahmadi leads the exploration of this important urban landscape. The film not only serves as a visual documentation of the street but also reflects on the broader themes of environmental change and urbanization. Collectors of documentary films may find interest in how it captures a specific cultural and ecological narrative tied to Tehran's history and its present-day challenges.
