TEHRAN – “Memories for All Seasons” director Mostafa Razzaq-Karimi plans to make a documentary on Khadijeh Saqafi (1913-2009), the wife of the founder of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Seyyed Ruhollah Khomeini.

“A team of four researchers has been working on the project over the past year and the screenplay has now been completed,” Razzaq-Karimi told the Persian service of MNA on Monday.

“The documentary is of high importance, because it centers on a person who lived with Imam Khomeini for over 60 years and we need to focus on every detail of her life,” he added.

“Her days of life with Imam, their lives in Tehran, Najaf, Qom and Neauphle-le-Château are among the topics to be covered in the documentary,” Razzaq-Karimi said.

“By necessity, much research had to be carried out for this documentary and we are now waiting for the Oruj Films as the producer to approve the scenario,” he mentioned.

Razzaq-Karimi is the director of “Memories for All Seasons”, an acclaimed documentary that narrates the memories of a group of Iranian soldiers wounded by Iraqi chemical weapons during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.
