In the early hours of Friday, September 20, 1978, a curfew was announced in Tehran and several other cities in Iran. That same morning, soldiers positioned in Jaleh Square, in the heart of Iran's capital, opened fire on the people uninformed of the curfew. The exact number of the killed and the missing, most of whom were everyday people, has never been known. Not only the eyes of the cameras missed this slaughter of innocent people but it faced also the state-run media censorship. Before this film, the only cinematic evidence of this incident was a less-than-a-minute footage from an unidentified person's camera; an evidence which was published as a document afterthe fall of the governing regime and turned into one of the most horrendous reminiscences of the 1987 revolution. "Into Thin Air" is the picture-reading of a documented reminiscence and a narrative of the "victim" on the fringe of all political massacres. This might be the story of all yesterday and today's victims of political massacres in my home and that of yours.
