According to Fars news agency, Sasan Golestane said about the 4-part documentary series “Sahem Surkhabi” that this documentary is the story of the emergence of two prominent Iranian football teams, Esteghlal and Persepolis, and narrated their history from the time of establishment to privatization.

He added: In order to get into the topic of this documentary and the emergence of two popular teams in the capital, we had an overview of the emergence of football in Iran and the world and their history, and we tried to present a comprehensive narrative of this issue to the audience. Based on this, in a part of the documentary, we had a look at the root teams of Iranian football, especially Shahin, Pas, etc. We have also privatized two clubs

He said about the production process of this documentary: Kaveh Ahmadi suggested me to make such a series in the form of a plan, and together with Mohammad Khodavardi, we turned it into a plan to make a television documentary. My goal in making this documentary was to make the society more aware of the history and background of football in Iran from the point of view of two popular clubs, Esteghlal and Persepolis. Accordingly, we analyzed all the archival images available on the topic of these two teams. to reach an accurate narrative. In addition, we went to veterans and experts in the country’s sports field.

Golestaneh said: By watching this documentary, the audience will get to know the history of the two clubs and their impact on Iranian football and the prominent players of both clubs. We were involved in the production of this documentary series for three years, and during the Corona era, it was much more difficult to reach people, and this made the work slower.

Referring to the importance of making sports documentaries, Golestane said: As you know, the issue of fandom and fandom in Iranian football is very old and serious. There has always been a dichotomy between blue and red among football fans. This issue showed that we should go to the narrative of the history of the two clubs and show fandom in Iranian football in order to make the society more aware. For this reason, in addition to expressing sports history, a social and sociological view is also visible in this documentary. In fact, we examined the position of two clubs in terms of social influence.

The documentary “Sahem Surkhabi” was made in 4 parts on the order of the Ministry of Sports and Youth. Sasan Golestaneh is the producer and director of this work and Mohammad Khodavardi is its author. This series is aired every night at 8:00 p.m. on the Documentary Network, and will be repeated the next day at 10:00 a.m.
