Khuzestan, in southwestern Iran, is a landscape etched with scars. Amassed over its history of colonization, industrialization, revolution, and war, they define a place steeped in its past. Through the lens of workers, Meezan examines the memory of an Iranian province where conflict and war, especially in connection with oil, have left their mark. In three parts, manual labourers with maritime-related tasks and professions come together to build a polyphony of movements, sounds, and colours to create a sensory conversation that questions the bodily experience of a population who lives in a place charged with a history that defines it despite itself.
