About 8 Days in Captivity
The feature film reflects the terrible days of the tragedy and the suffering experienced through the example of Durdana Aghayeva and her brother Elshad Aghayev, who witnessed the Khojaly genocide and were subjected to severe torture for 8 days in Armenian captivity.
Directed by Vusal Ahmedzadeh, 8 Days in Captivity leans on a strong ensemble — Lala Suleymanova, Ibrahim Lachin, Rasim Jafar — 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 war titles of 2025.
