About The Weight of Words
The Weight of Words is perhaps more than the introduction of the scientific and cultural personality of Abolhasan Najafi, which was enough well-known to everyone, but the story of the discovery of fatherhood. The fact that he was away for about thirty years of close contact with his son, and now his son wants to get to know him bit by bit.
Directed by Chebli Najafi, The Weight of Words leans on a strong ensemble — Abolhassan Najafi, Chebli Najafi, Abbas Milani — 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 documentary titles of 2022.
