While shooting My Worst Enemy (also showing in this series), Mehran Tamadon felt the need for another film, one that would provide some distance and perspective from which to observe the Iranian regime's repression. Where God Is Not was born out of this desire and from his meeting with Taghi, Homa and Mazyar, three political prisoners who for years suffered the wrath of the authorities in Evin and Ghezel Hesar prisons, infamous for the harshness of their conditions. Now exiled in France, these heroes reconstruct the cells they lived in, the blood-soaked interrogations, and the methodology of the physical and psychological torture. Tamadon crafts together a profound, clairvoyant introspection into the memory of horror while striking a masterful balance between his observational register and empathy with the victims of authoritarian barbarism.
