Why didn’t “After Freedom” air? / Okay Ahangar: My series is an engaging drama

Fars News Agency – Radio and Television Group: Typically, Iranian people and audiences prefer to watch a glimpse of their real life inside and outside the home in plays. This has been proven many times in attracting audiences.

But it also has different aspects. The director may or may not portray this Iranian view of a life well enough for the audience to be so clichéd and artificial that they get bored of watching it.

In this article, we want to have an overview of the image that Mohammad Ali Basheh Ahangar has drawn in his latest series entitled “After Freedom”. A 35-episode series that began filming in late 1997 and lasted until the beginning of 1998.

** Family epochs, the bedrock of TV series

But in recent years, many series have been made in the context of the family, some of which are still in the minds of Iranian audiences. Serials such as Patriarch, Green House, Capital One and Two, Relax, Narges, etc. are among them.

Works that depict the atmosphere of family epochs that have become less common these days due to the corona, and this is why the audience, seeing this real space, may be encouraged to attend these epochs.

** “After Freedom” is a story in a different context

These days, various series are made on television, works that each have a different atmosphere and genre, and each is narrated according to the time context at a point in the present or past history. “Mohammad Ali Bashe Ahangar” has been known for his TV series “Ta Sobh” and “Nimeh Gomshodeh” on TV, and in the movies “Farzand Khak”, “Awakening of Dreams”, “Queen”, “Underwater Cypress”, etc. in cinemas. But these days, he is directing the series “After Freedom”, which is in a dilemma. The series has a social family story that has entered the lives of several families in these two periods of time.

** Saadi from “Engineer Kid” to “After Freedom”

Saeed Saadi is one of the busiest producers of television these days, who has produced seasons one to four of “Engineer Kid” and the series “Najla”. Bacheh Mohandes is one of Saadi’s works that continued until the fourth season due to the charm and tension of his story. The story of this series was about a child who was abandoned as an infant in an orphanage and told the story of his life until he was thirty years old and going to university.

** What is the story of this series?

The only information that Ahangar has published about his series is the summary of the story that has been published in the media.

The summary of the story of this series is as follows: Every day I woke up with the scent of the flowers of Shahriar gardens, my mother Khodabiamerz had a beautiful garden that was always warm. The servant of God was often alone. My father, who was a desert driver, changed gears behind his tanker from morning till night and changed the gasoline. The nearest road was four or five hours of traffic from Anbar Rey to the gas station in the south and center of Tehran.

He would go earlier in the morning to eat better. If the weather was cold and there was no problem for the cold regions, it would rain and change it and send it to Hamedan, Azerbaijan, Kurdistan. What do I know about the cold and snow-covered provinces? The latter was not very well, he did not say anything, but we understood. In a house without your parents, nothing can fill their gaps…

On the other hand, this series is also about long-standing friendships. Sam Kaboudvand and Morteza Ismail Kashi are the two friends who established a workshop together and problems arise between them and the story enters a new phase.

** Why was the series not aired?

Considering that almost two years have passed since the end of the recording of this series, but a specific airing time has not been set for it yet. This issue can also be due to various reasons, including the corrections that Channel One wants to make on this series.

In this regard, “Saeed Saadi” told a Fars reporter: “Friends on the network should inform us about the airing time and they have not specified a time yet.”

** Well Ahangar: “After Freedom” looks at things from a new angle

“Mohammad Ali Bashe Ahangar” told a Fars reporter in this regard: درست It is true that a year and a half has passed since we finished shooting this series, but I am unaware of the time of its broadcast.

He added: “After Freedom” is a social work and is an engaging drama and is one of the few series that looks at community and family issues from a new angle in the last ten years.

The director stated: Part of this series is narrated in the past and most of it happens in the present. In this series, the role of drama in the past and the future and the implications of the day are very important.

“After Freedom” is an intuitive drama, and many events and knots are unraveled over time. In addition, we have a look at the dear Afghans.

** Decoration in the provincial park

** In what year is the story of the series narrated? / Saadi: Our locations are new

Like Manouchehr House, غ Forough House, Ismail House, police station, coffee house, ‌ bakery, etc., which are all located in a neighborhood called the Afghan neighborhood, are among the decors of this group.

“Houses in Tehran impose restrictions on production groups, and we did not want these restrictions to apply to us,” Saeed Saadi, the series’ producer, told Fars News Agency.
