The Iranian premiere of La Badil will take place later this month at the Resistance International Film Festival in Tehran, running from 20th–24th September. This prestigious event celebrates cinema that highlights resistance against colonisation, autocracy, and oppression, drawing filmmakers and audiences from around the world.
La Badil was selected for its powerful storytelling and unflinching portrayal of life under occupation, making it a fitting addition to a festival dedicated to films about human dignity, freedom, and resilience.
The screening offers a rare opportunity for Iranian and international audiences to engage with the Sahrawi struggle through cinema and dialogue, reinforcing the festival’s mission to amplify voices from marginalised and overlooked conflicts.
