This film traces the timeline of events that Iran has witnessed since December 28, 2025, starting with the attack on the Grand Bazaar in Tehran, until January 18, 2026. It stops at the blackout phase with the internet outage between January 8 and 11, a period during which the largest massacre Iran has witnessed since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979 took place, out of sight and behind closed doors.

At the beginning of January, France 24 formed a multidisciplinary journalistic team, which included Maryam Pirzadeh, an editor-in-chief of the channel, Bahar Makoy, a journalist on the France 24 website, and Irshad Alijani, a journalist on the France 24 “Observers” website. The team worked to collect, analyze, and verify a large number of video clips that it received before the internet outage, and sometimes during the blocking period itself, in addition to documenting poignant testimonies given by victims and participants in the protests.

It is a harsh novel, shocking in many of its moments, revealing the extent of the excessive violence practiced by the Iranian regime since the first days of the movement, which escalated from January 8 to the use of advanced military methods and weapons. It also sheds light on the pressures on the families of the victims, as they were pursued even inside hospitals while trying to receive their wounded or dead, and were later forced to “buy” the bodies for ransom.

Documentation of the death toll stops at January 18, with there undoubtedly being tens of thousands of victims, while only date can determine the final toll.
