Davud Moradian, the documentary maker and director of the “Arzam” series, which airs at the same time as the holy defense week, told Mehr reporter about this series: This series is designed in 100 episodes of more than 20 minutes or about 25 minutes, and different parts About before the revolution and after the revolution.

He added: In the pre-revolution section, we have gone to archival images. Images that may have been published in foreign media and not seen by the Iranian audience. But here we have an unpublished and untold story that we narrate in the “Arzam” collection.

A team of 10 people is in charge of the research work

Mouradian also said about the interviews in the post-revolution section: In this section, we have conversations with eyewitnesses, for example, we have conversations with commanders. It can be said that each of the commanders have been interviewed for hours and we use these interviews in the project.

This documentary maker also mentioned about the research team of the collection: the research base of the project is a team that works under the supervision of the Foundation for the preservation of works and the publication of the values ​​of sacred defense. A team of more than 10 people working under the supervision of Yahya Niazi, author and researcher of books on sacred defense, has developed a very sound research work.

The audience is not faced with an image article

He also explained about the structure of the documentary: the structure of this collection is a story-teller, not a reconstruction documentary, but the story of archival images and historical figures is told in the form of a story so that the audience is not faced with just an image essay.

Moradian said about the production of this series: Five episodes of this series have been made so far, which will be aired during the holy defense week, and we are making the second five episodes. Our effort is to deliver this project by the end of the year and finish 100 episodes.

The roots of the war go back a hundred years

In the other part of his talk about the first chapter of this series, this documentary maker said: In the first chapter of this series, we deal with the roots of the imposed war, which begins about a hundred years ago, that is, its roots go back to that time.

Referring to addressing a doubt about war in this documentary, he reminded: Now some doubts and fights about war are not about war techniques but about strategic issues and they ask why did you start the war? But who started the war? This requires us to start the documentary from the previous decades, and in this documentary we examined the issue from 1298, which was the basis of a geographical conflict. The Arvand River issue actually started a hundred years ago and is the basis of border disputes.
