The Tree That Remembers

The Tree That Remembers is a documentary by Masoud Raouf about experiences of some former political prisoners (like Masoud Raouf himself) who now live in Canada. These ex-prisoners share their memories of torture in Ayatollah's prisons, the memories that does not leave them alone even in their new safe home. The documentary was made after a young Iranian student hanged himself on the outskirts of a small Ontario town in 1992. Having escaped the Ayatollah's regime and found a new home in Canada, he could not escape his past.
