About 1988
In the winter of 1988, in the depths of the Iraq/Iran war, the border town of Halabja was attacked by chemical weapons with all its people and their different stories.
Directed by Hezhwan Zendi, 1988 leans on a strong ensemble — Hamid Mirhaj Yosef, Delnya Mohammadi, Qadir Jalal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
