Forced Confessions (Persian: اعترافات اجباری, Eterafate-e Ejbari) is a 2012 documentary film by the Persian Canadian journalist and filmmaker Maziar Bahari about the forced confessions in Iran obtained from a suspect through torture.[1]

The film premiered at the 25th International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) in November 2012. The short version of the film was aired by BBC Persian TV simultaneously.

Synopsis

[edit]

In 2009, filmmaker Maziar Bahari, a guest of honor at IDFA 2007, claimed he was forced to make a false confession that he had been collaborating with the West and committed espionage. The story is told via the director's voice-over and interviews with other Iranians who have gone through similar experiences of forced confessions.
