TEHRAN – Iranian director Farshid Azari’s documentary “Drops Give Life” will go on screen at the 17th edition of the International Festival of Documentary Films on Human Rights-Bir Duino, which will be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan from November 27 to December 1.

 The film follows the life of Masht Hossein, a compassionate rancher who deeply values nature. Despite facing challenging conditions, Masht Hossein has dedicated over three decades to trekking through unforgiving terrain to provide water for the parched animals and birds in the drought-ridden area.

Through his unwavering commitment, the area comes alive with newfound vitality. After completing the arduous journey, Masht Hossein, exhausted yet content, finds solace in witnessing the birds and animals quench their thirst, finding joy in their satisfaction.

The International Festival of Documentary Films on Human Rights-Bir Duino is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights and 25th anniversary of the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders.
