[00:00:00] Several million this flag, this banner
[00:00:03] has its devotees.
[00:00:24] The size of the hunting ground for two American reconnaissance drones of the MQM-170 type in the sky south of
[00:00:27] Qeshm Island.
[00:00:30] The Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
[00:00:33] announced moments ago that two American reconnaissance drones of
[00:00:37] the M-170 type were grounded in the sky south of Qeshm Island
[00:00:41] by the advanced electronic warfare systems of the IRGC Aerospace Force.
[00:00:44] With these two drones, the number of American drones
[00:00:48] of this type that have fallen as spoils to the elite IRGC officers
[00:00:52] has reached four. Also, moments
[00:00:55] ago, the fifty-fifth drone was intercepted and destroyed
[00:01:02] by the new advanced aerospace defense system of the IRGC
[00:01:05] and under the control of the unified air defense network
[00:01:08] of the country in the sky east of the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:01:12] Gasoline consumption
[00:01:13] has not
[00:01:17] grown in the first seven months of this year. The CEO of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company
[00:01:20] stated in the "Economy Table" program that the average daily gasoline consumption
[00:01:24] in the country in the first seven months of this year reached
[00:01:28] 133 million liters.
[00:01:30] In the first seven months, we did not have
[00:01:34] gasoline consumption growth, but a better situation
[00:01:37] and a good thing that happened in the first 10 days
[00:01:41] of Aban (October/November) of the current year is that this number has become negative, meaning it has gone
[00:01:45] from zero to negative. We have
[00:01:48] a decrease of minus one tenth percent in the first decade
[00:01:52] of Aban 1405 compared to the first decade
[00:01:55] of Aban 1404.
[00:01:59] The Minister of Economy, who is
[00:02:05] in Istanbul, Turkey, to attend the 42nd meeting of the Economic and Commercial Cooperation Committee
[00:02:09] of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, referred to the economic pressures
[00:02:12] and US sanctions against our country and said: "The enemies have tried many times
[00:02:16] to collapse the Iranian economy, but these efforts
[00:02:19] have not yielded results." One of the serious
[00:02:23] issues that
[00:02:27] will be discussed and examined in this
[00:02:30] meeting by the countries is the discussion
[00:02:33] of the economic situation that has arisen
[00:02:37] as a result of the events of the past few months
[00:02:39] in the region. Well, many countries
[00:02:43] have experienced severe inflation and recession,
[00:02:46] and a sharp increase in prices, especially
[00:02:50] a sharp increase in energy prices. In addition to these meetings,
[00:02:54] we also have bilateral meetings with the Ministers
[00:02:56] of Trade or
[00:03:00] Economy of some countries,
[00:03:03] which are a continuation of the series of meetings
[00:03:06] that I had during my previous trips in recent weeks
[00:03:09] to expand relations
[00:03:13] and prevent sanctions
[00:03:15] and pressures from America in their economic agenda.
[00:03:19] Hopefully, we can defeat it.
[00:03:23] Judicial
[00:03:25] security and the supply of basic goods based on domestic capacities
[00:03:29] have been fully preserved. According to the
[00:03:32] Deputy Minister for Legal and International Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, active regional
[00:03:36] and international diplomacy, alongside this capability,
[00:03:40] has been employed to further strengthen the judicial security of the country.
[00:03:43] In
[00:03:46] addition to the role of domestic capacities
[00:03:49] and domestic production, regional and international cooperation
[00:03:53] is also a suitable factor for ensuring the judicial security
[00:03:57] of countries and the Islamic Republic of Iran. It has very good cooperation,
[00:04:00] especially with its neighboring countries
[00:04:04] in the field of agriculture, and we fully utilize the capacities
[00:04:08] of regional and international organizations such as BRICS, Shanghai,
[00:04:11] and the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as the FAO,
[00:04:15] and we have very good relations with these member countries of this organization
[00:04:18] and these organizations themselves, so that we can
[00:04:21] better and more effectively ensure the judicial security of the people.
[00:04:25] The Deputy for
[00:04:29] Planning
[00:04:49] and Development of the Steel Industry has faced many challenges in recent years. The problems
[00:04:53] we currently have are mainly problems
[00:04:56] of energy imbalance and raw material supply.
[00:04:59] According to industrialists, the establishment of steel units
[00:05:02] without considering their geographical location
[00:05:06] and mineral capacities has exacerbated these problems.
[00:05:09] The placement of our steel units is not appropriate in the country.
[00:05:13] If you compare the map of Iran, you will see that there are many
[00:05:16] scattered steel factories throughout the country,
[00:05:20] and unfortunately, this has somewhat affected their efficiency.
[00:05:23] According to the territorial planning document,
[00:05:27] steel units were supposed to be established
[00:05:30] with mineral advantages and with the aim
[00:05:33] of completing the production chain. The steel industry
[00:05:37] in the world has developed alongside water, and the correct principle
[00:05:41] was that
[00:06:12] sponge iron is in one place, the rolled product is in another place,
[00:06:16] and all of these must be moved, which results in different finished
[00:06:19] costs and different profits. One of the reasons
[00:06:23] for Mobarakeh Steel's profitability is that iron ore enters
[00:06:26] the factory's fence, and various finished
[00:06:30] products go out. The cost of finished water
[00:06:33] for us is significantly lower compared to other competitors
[00:06:37] in the center of the country. Our gas consumption is more than 2
[00:06:40] million cubic meters per day. However, according to industrial officials,
[00:06:44] with the formation of the Steel Headquarters, the development of this industry
[00:06:47] will be put on the right track. Under the Steel Headquarters,
[00:06:51] a working group was formed. Now, the issue of spatial planning is being properly
[00:06:54] observed, and even some
[00:06:57] permits that were previously issued, but the project progress
[00:07:01] is below 20%, are being re-evaluated.
[00:07:05] Farjullah Mohammadpour, IRIB News Agency.
[00:07:09] The second bulk sale center for hygiene
[00:07:13] and detergent products was opened in
[00:07:16] Tehran. In these centers, bulk detergent products are offered up to
[00:07:20] 70 percent cheaper than factory-packaged products.
[00:07:23] Last
[00:07:26] month, the CEO of the Markets Organization announced the plan
[00:07:29] to reduce the price of detergent and hygiene products.
[00:07:33] We will offer detergents that are
[00:07:36] used daily by households by the kilogram.
[00:07:39] A plan that
[00:07:43] has now expanded with the opening of a bulk sales center in Sardar Jangal Square.
[00:07:46] By eliminating plastic
[00:07:50] packaging containers,
[00:07:53] we have helped the country's environment.
[00:07:56] Packaging costs are part of the costs
[00:08:00] that are actually passed on to the customer. With this method,
[00:08:03] the packaging cost will also decrease.
[00:08:06] Another issue is that it gives the consumer
[00:08:10] the power to manage their purchases.
[00:08:12] This half-liter hand soap is priced at half a liter
[00:08:15] for 20, 3900 Tomans,
[00:08:19] whereas you can buy it here for
[00:08:22] 130,000 Tomans per kilogram. A simple comparison shows
[00:08:26] that buying bulk hand soap as one of the items
[00:08:29] in this plan results in about 350,000 Tomans in savings
[00:08:33] per kilogram for citizens, meaning more than
[00:08:36] 70% reduction in purchasing costs. When the barcode is scanned,
[00:08:39] all the specifications are immediately registered.
[00:08:42] For any reason, there might be a complaint or dissatisfaction. They can easily tell us with a QR code
[00:08:46] which route it was, which batch it was, so that
[00:08:50] our colleagues can address it technically. A new plan that has been
[00:08:54] welcomed by citizens. I think it's a very
[00:08:57] interesting idea, a very good idea. We don't need to throw away
[00:09:01] and buy new plastic. We use these.
[00:09:04] It saves on the consumption of containers that are not used
[00:09:08] and then discarded. It's a good plan, but
[00:09:12] now let's see if the quality of the product that we are buying
[00:09:16] has that original quality or not.
[00:09:20] This plan, with the participation of domestic commercial brands,
[00:09:23] is capable of being implemented throughout the country.
[00:09:26] Sardar Jangal vegetable market is the second bulk distribution center
[00:09:30] for detergent products. The first center was previously
[00:09:33] launched in Haravi Square. Mostafa Gohar, IRIB News Agency reporter.
[00:09:37] Stay with us.
[00:09:41] Iran, Iraq, Yemen,
[00:10:03] Lebanon.
[00:10:05] We are shoulder to
[00:10:09] shoulder.
[00:10:21] The message of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution had taken on a new fervor and awareness.
[00:10:41] Driving the enemy out of the homeland is the same
[00:10:44] epic of the people of
[00:10:46] Zulfiqari.
[00:10:49] I really enjoy that people support their country,
[00:10:52] and they resisted against it.
[00:11:25] It's because we have had extraordinary progress, either
[00:11:28] in science or in sports,
[00:11:31] due to the support of the people,
[00:11:34] because we are a superpower. We are proud of our resistance,
[00:11:37] and we will build our Iran. Our punch will strike
[00:11:41] our enemies without geographical
[00:11:44] limitations. Our punch will strike
[00:11:48] our enemies without geographical
[00:11:51] limitations. In our opinion, anyone who can perform their
[00:11:55] work properly and, as they say,
[00:11:58] continuously, can be effective.
[00:12:01] They should be responsible in any situation.
[00:12:05] In any situation, in any field, Iran is, in my opinion, the most independent
[00:12:09] country. The steadfastness and resistance we showed against the enemy
[00:12:12] and did not bow down, is what they believe in.
[00:12:15] They stood behind their country, they stood behind their land.
[00:12:19] Iran is
[00:12:20] the most united.
[00:12:49] Where it is written, from 8 years of Sacred Defense to
[00:12:52] the sacred resistance of these days.
[00:12:55] Vigilance and faith, motivation and will, and the sacrifice
[00:12:58] and devotion of the people are helping the oppressed
[00:13:02] and powerful nation of Iran in confronting the dominance,
[00:13:05] crime, and aggression of the Great Evil and achieving victory.
[00:13:09] Resistance
[00:13:17] is not just a word, it is a culture
[00:13:20] that gains meaning with the presence of these very
[00:13:23] people.
[00:13:43] And the presence of people in the streets and
[00:13:45] squares.
[00:13:53] 47 years have passed since the beginning
[00:13:55] of the Islamic Revolution, and the Iranian nation, through the ups and downs of these years, despite
[00:13:58] war and sanctions, continued on the path of independence and progress.
[00:14:02] During these many years of sanctions, Iran has reached a position
[00:14:06] where it has truly introduced itself as a superpower
[00:14:09] in the whole world. Important achievements
[00:14:13] that we gained in the revolution are in the field of biology,
[00:14:17] in the field of cancer drugs, nuclear energy,
[00:14:21] clean energy, dam construction, road construction.
[00:14:24] In medical fields, we have made a lot of progress. In nanotechnology,
[00:14:27] in sports.
[00:14:29] We are always
[00:14:33] ready. We are
[00:14:37] awake nation. Always
[00:14:40] ready. If the adventurism of America
[00:14:44] and the Zionist regime continues and our country is attacked,
[00:14:48] how should our response be? Our response
[00:14:51] should be stronger than before. Following the words of Agha Sayed Mojtaba:
[00:14:55] the enemies should be answered without geographical limitations.
[00:14:59] Simultaneously, at any geographical point where they are, we must respond.
[00:15:02] We listen to our leader.
[00:15:06] As he said, our response will be crushing, strong,
[00:15:08] without hesitation, decisive and immediate, God willing.
[00:15:12] God willing, Iran will become a powerful country,
[00:15:16] the first power in the region
[00:15:20] and the world. Let the enemy
[00:15:23] know that if it threatens,
[00:15:26] if this time it commits terror,
[00:15:29] threatens, commits crimes,
[00:15:32] then the Islamic Republic and the brave people
[00:15:36] of Iran will decide.
[00:15:51] Resistance against the enemy and efforts for progress are being made.
[00:15:54] Noor Mohammadi, IRIB News Agency.
[00:15:57] Oh,
[00:16:02] your flag, my most beautiful shirt,
[00:16:06] Iran. The light of defending the homeland in the heart
[00:16:10] of nocturnal gatherings is still burning.
[00:16:13] We are still in the field, until the last drop of blood, for the homeland.
[00:16:17] We have proven with our presence
[00:16:20] in the streets, like in our first days,
[00:16:24] that we are always present and will defend Iran
[00:16:27] to the death. From me, a teenager,
[00:16:31] to my 80-year-old grandfather, we are present in this
[00:16:34] field. We are like the fingers of a hand.
[00:16:38] We may be different, but when the time comes, we will become a fist
[00:16:42] in the face of traitors. We, the 80s generation,
[00:16:45] stand by our Iran and will not give an inch of its sovereignty to the enemies.
[00:16:49] We all follow the Supreme Leader.
[00:16:53] Not one step ahead. We are,
[00:16:56] like for 240-odd nights, in the field,
[00:16:59] and we will be until the end. As
[00:17:02] a Basiji teenager, I sacrifice my life
[00:17:05] for Iran.
[00:18:18] Psychological warfare has been launched. How should Iran respond to these
[00:18:22] adventures? It's as our brave man said:
[00:18:26] strong and powerful, without geographical limitations.
[00:18:29] Crushing and deterrent.
[00:18:32] Hit them so hard that they can't get up. Let's teach them a lesson that
[00:18:36] they won't forget. Always under this
[00:18:39] flag, my head is held high.
[00:18:42] Oh, my proud land,
[00:18:45] my country Iran. The field of allegiance throughout
[00:18:48] Iran has been awake for months with the enthusiastic presence
[00:18:51] of devotees. Here, every presence
[00:18:55] means "I sacrifice my life for Iran."
[00:18:58] Beta Azizi, IRIB News Agency. Ardabil.
[00:19:01] Iran.
[00:19:07] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[00:19:24] Greetings. Today's guest
[00:19:28] on our program is an artist who, following the words
[00:19:31] of Mr. Farhangdoost, has nurtured young filmmakers
[00:19:35] who speak of their love for Iran, dearer than life,
[00:19:38] in the language of cinema. Mr. Nejati,
[00:19:42] welcome. What is the first image that comes to your mind
[00:19:46] of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, and when and where
[00:19:50] does it date back to? In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[00:19:53] Peace be upon you. I would like to say to you, Ms.
[00:19:57] Ghanati, what comes to my mind now, because you
[00:20:01] just asked this question, is that
[00:20:04] I was the son of a military man, and we always,
[00:20:07] almost wherever my father served during the war,
[00:20:10] we were with him. The photos I remember
[00:20:14] most of His Holiness were when he was in military
[00:20:18] uniform. Yes,
[00:20:21] I always had this in the back of my mind,
[00:20:24] and I really liked it. I really enjoyed
[00:20:28] that he had
[00:20:31] the paternal figure I myself have, meaning long beard and the same
[00:20:34] service uniform. And my father, whenever he came back from
[00:20:38] duty, for example, we would see him in the same way,
[00:20:42] and that's how he remained in my memory. Until
[00:20:45] now, from the very beginning of the Revolution, the western
[00:20:49] part of the country was a place of unrest. Komala and Democratic terrorists,
[00:20:52] taking advantage of the political chaos of the early days of the Revolution,
[00:20:56] beat the drums of separatism and instigated riots in various
[00:20:59] cities. Although the people of western Iran,
[00:21:02] the brave Laks, Kurds, and Lors, courageously resisted
[00:21:06] these terrorists and foiled their conspiracies in almost all cases,
[00:21:09] a negative perception was formed among some officials and
[00:21:13] even some people towards the residents of western Iran.
[00:21:17] Now, with the start of the imposed
[00:21:21] war, western Iran, due to its border with Iraq,
[00:21:24] was on the front line of the war, and the conditions were ripe for
[00:21:28] heightened tensions in this region.
[00:21:31] In such circumstances, the presence of a high-ranking official and one of the most important
[00:21:35] figures of the Revolution in the western fronts of the country was essential.
[00:21:38] Ayatollah Khamenei, the Friday prayer leader
[00:21:42] of Tehran, a member of parliament, and the Imam's representative in the Supreme
[00:21:46] Council of Defense, in April of 1981, at the peak
[00:21:50] of the days of unrest in western Iran, decided to travel to this region
[00:21:53] to directly confront the situation of this strategic region.
[00:21:57] One of the programs of this multi-day trip was to see
[00:22:00] enemy positions up close. Bazideraz, Dasht-e Abbas,
[00:22:04] Paveh, and Dezli were among the areas where Ayatollah Khamenei
[00:22:08] visited with this goal. Face-to-face meetings and
[00:22:12] discussions with the fighters of western Iran were another
[00:22:15] part of this trip's program. He went to Abu Dharr garrison
[00:22:18] in Sarpol-e Zahab, which is a center for gathering and supporting
[00:22:22] western fighters, and he spoke directly with the fighters.
[00:22:26] His presence among the local tribes of those areas was another
[00:22:29] of Ayatollah Khamenei's actions on this trip. He visited areas where
[00:22:33] no official of such high rank had ever set foot before.
[00:22:37] Ayatollah Khamenei's trip to the western front
[00:22:40] at the peak of the days of tension and war, while having a positive impact
[00:22:44] on the morale of the fighters and the locals of those areas,
[00:22:47] sent a clear message to all of Iran: western Iran will
[00:22:51] never be separated from the embrace of Iran.
[00:22:54] How was their view on culture and art?
[00:22:57] I would say to you that, you see,
[00:23:01] one thing that, thankfully, happened in my life was that
[00:23:05] I listened to all his speeches as much
[00:23:07] as possible. We actually boast
[00:23:11] about how much our leader used to read. This is not enough.
[00:23:15] I mean, if you want to boast that someone is knowledgeable, you say, "Look,
[00:23:18] he has this many volumes of books."
[00:23:23] Now, when he's talking about any topic, he starts talking about a book. When I see these
[00:23:27] meetings, especially now,
[00:23:30] the meetings he had with filmmakers and cinema enthusiasts,
[00:23:34] and I see that he correctly answers the questions of the day,
[00:23:37] I think one feels good,
[00:23:41] one feels happy that he had such precise
[00:23:44] mastery over the topic of culture, especially for us,
[00:23:48] cinema is
[00:23:56] a very attractive element,
[00:24:00] an extraordinary medium. There is really nothing like cinema
[00:24:04] in terms of impact.
[00:24:20] You have worked very hard. Indeed, good works
[00:24:23] are the outcome of your
[00:24:25] efforts.
[00:24:32] The fact that you are working so hard indicates that what we expect
[00:24:36] is not imagination, not fantasy,
[00:24:39] it is practical. We
[00:24:42] did not have these facilities, we did not have all these works,
[00:24:46] all these artistic works, all these
[00:24:50] outstanding, excellent theatrical works.
[00:24:53] Outstanding,
[00:24:54] excellent.
[00:25:02] The truth of art is a divine
[00:25:04] gift. It's a gift,
[00:25:08] in fact, a divine blessing, a very noble
[00:25:11] truth. Don't you
[00:25:14] know what's going on here? I wish you were here.
[00:25:18] I think that
[00:25:20] after the 12-day war, and after the 40-day war, you were one of
[00:25:24] the most active artists, whether in creating
[00:25:27] works or in nurturing talents
[00:25:31] who speak for Iran and the martyrs of Iran.
[00:25:34] And your Simorgh, I think, was dedicated
[00:25:37] to one of the most influential veterans
[00:25:40] of our country. Could you explain that?
[00:25:44] I would like to say that, well, that was a very
[00:25:48] humble thing, Mr.
[00:25:50] When the 12-day war happened, you know, something strange happened in our hearts.
[00:25:54] You see, for years, if I want to put it very bluntly, for years
[00:25:58] all the different political factions of the country started talking
[00:26:02] about this. They would say, "Oh, the homeland, it's true,
[00:26:05] I don't know, we must have the homeland."
[00:26:08] If they wanted to oppose a faction, they would start
[00:26:11] using the homeland as an excuse.
[00:26:14] This event was a very accurate touchstone. I
[00:26:17] know that sometimes people now understand that, well, war
[00:26:21] is not a blessing. War is not like saying that my house is burning. We are seeing
[00:26:25] our friends martyred, I don't know, houses were destroyed.
[00:26:29] But it has subsequent blessings that you realize here.
[00:26:32] Especially that it correctly balances the scale for you.
[00:26:36] When the 12-day war happened, I was in a state of shock.
[00:26:40] I mean, suddenly, if you remember, everything, yes,
[00:26:43] really stopped. What happened? What happened?
[00:26:47] How could it be? We couldn't believe it would happen this way. In those first two
[00:26:50] or three days, what happened was
[00:26:54] that an idea came to my mind,
[00:26:57] and thankfully, with this Ishraq Film School and friends, we started talking,
[00:27:01] and then
[00:27:07] it was a very exceptional work. You see, I might now,
[00:27:11] when I watch the films, say that the work could have been stronger,
[00:27:14] but the spirit behind those early works
[00:27:17] of "My Homeland's Narrative," those 20-odd films, when I watch them,
[00:27:21] I see that they loved Iran passionately,
[00:27:24] and they didn't care that a missile was hitting,
[00:27:28] I don't know, that we had no money. They just wanted to feel that they were
[00:27:32] doing something in a place where no one else could do anything.
[00:27:36] We put up posters with difficulty, and then, truly with difficulty,
[00:27:40] there was no internet to spread the call. Young cinema offices got involved,
[00:27:43] thankfully, and well, I think many mature
[00:27:47] films came out in that section. This was one of those
[00:27:50] works that I really liked. But one thing was a touchstone
[00:27:54] for me: that I realized that, well, it's not
[00:27:57] like that. Very easily, people talk
[00:28:01] about their homeland. But as soon as we face a challenge, the definitions change.
[00:28:05] I mean, the homeland means territorial integrity, in any
[00:28:08] way you look at it. No one has the right, no foreigner has the right
[00:28:12] to extend their hand towards your homeland and say.
[00:28:16] It's like family. You, in relation to your family,
[00:28:19] have no right to betray someone else. Here, it's the same. It doesn't matter who it is.
[00:28:23] That's how it was there, and I suddenly said, "Thank
[00:28:27] God." Sometimes, one feels that they
[00:28:30] say, "I have seen nothing but reward."
[00:28:34] Its understanding is truly difficult to grasp
[00:28:37] for me, who is very small in these
[00:28:41] mystical discussions, it's truly difficult. But in such situations, one says that this
[00:28:45] experience makes you realize that when
[00:28:48] they say, "Oh, Islamic Iran," they keep saying, "Oh, Iran
[00:28:51] is like this." Bring up this name of Iran. Now, Ms.
[00:28:55] Ghanati, you probably saw my page.
[00:28:58] Throughout my adolescence and youth, I always
[00:29:01] wore a similar map of Iran around my neck.
[00:29:04] Every foreign festival I went to, I took a replica
[00:29:08] with me and gave the map of Iran to my foreign friends,
[00:29:12] meaning those who were, in fact, foreign filmmakers. The point was
[00:29:15] that when I gave them this map of Iran, first of all,
[00:29:19] of course, we know now that it's very common because the media has done
[00:29:23] something, and our media have started to get involved a bit more from now on.
[00:29:27] The reality is that there was a backwardness
[00:29:31] in our definition of Iran, of our culture.
[00:29:34] For example, they would ask us, "How do you still ride? Do you have cars?
[00:29:37] Can you have a mobile phone?" I mean, they would ask such obvious things
[00:29:41] that I felt that, well, each
[00:29:44] of us is an ambassador of this country, so when we go to a
[00:29:48] festival, we should show them that it's not like that.
[00:29:52] So I would entirely start showing them videos
[00:29:55] I had from different cities, from the beauties of Iran.
[00:29:59] My homeland is involved in a war, and what can I do
[00:30:03] besides, for example, making films? For example, I can suggest that, well, organize
[00:30:06] "My Homeland's Narrative" campaign. For example, I can say, "Kids, if you are making
[00:30:10] something, I'm ready to help. What do you need? Do you need a camera? Do you need a mobile phone? Come here, they will help you."
[00:30:14] We had no choice but to, you know,
[00:30:17] fighting itself here, I want to talk about
[00:30:20] Hossein Mohammadi. Hossein Mohammadi
[00:30:24] is a complete symbol for me of an Iranian
[00:30:27] youth who loves his homeland passionately,
[00:30:30] not because he went to the launcher base
[00:30:34] and something happened to him, because I say, "Well, he was a military man." My father also had a duty
[00:30:37] to fight, he was a military man and went and did his job, because
[00:30:41] when I saw him, Ms. Ghanati, this
[00:30:44] man, a young man who sacrificed his two legs and hands,
[00:30:48] and then when I
[00:30:51] see him, I realize how weak I am.
[00:30:54] But what am I doing in this
[00:30:57] country? I am making films and boasting, "Why didn't you give me an award? Why didn't you give me a prize?"
[00:31:00] Why didn't you
