Summary:
"At age 17, while a member of an anti-Shah militant group, Makhmalbaf attacked a policeman in an attempt to steal his gun. He stabbed the officer with a knife and took a bullet in return. The policeman went to the hospital; Makhmalbaf went to a torture chamber hosted by the dreaded SAVAK secret police. He stayed there until the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Twenty years later, the filmmaker placed an ad in the paper to recruit actors for Salaam Cinema. The same wounded officer responded to the ad. In A Moment of Innocence, the victim and the assailant both get the chance to tell their side of the story. In the process, they exorcise the demons of their past while examining how film and memory shape our perceptions"--www.IranianMovies.com.
