Details of a New TV Series

The director of the series «Defensive Wall» said: Resistance is not only about guarding borders and diplomacy; it is also about securing people's rights through the medium of images.

The director of the "Defense Wall" series said: "Resistance is not just guarding the borders and diplomacy, but also asserting people's rights in the form of images."

According to Ambassador Arjan, the "Defensive Wall" series is a historical work, which deals with the challenges of the oil industry workers with the British in 1329 and presents a new and less seen atmosphere with different actors and its own production.

Ahmed Kavari, the director of the "Defensive Wall" series, said about the reason for telling the story from the point of view of ordinary people instead of political events and well-known characters: From the very beginning, the structure of the story and the script was based on this, and we also started to strengthen this point of view. Because most of the dramas, except for the classic dramas whose characters are among the educated and high-ranking people of the society, choose normal and ordinary characters for the sake of the society, so that it can better present the conditions and status of the society.

Kaveri continued: Since these characters are fictional, they do not need historical documentation and leave the author's hand free to create a story and contribute to the drama. In fact, the structure of the script was based on this.

The director of "Defensive Wall" stated that if there was a historical documentary or a character with a historical identity in the story, the writers and researchers would definitely have advanced the text with this approach, adding: "But this is about the events about oil, the issue of national identity, the issue of the workers' struggle with the British domineering companies, etc., and the story presents a general picture of the situation at that time to the audience."

He considered the use of football's capacity beyond its sports issue and pointed to the rights of workers through this and said: Since workers cannot demand their rights through force and their political-social position, through football a struggle is formed between the dominant class of society, oil companies and corrupt governments and the people. In fact, the discussion of football is a symbolic discussion of the events of that period. Although football also happened and there is a historical documentary about it, the criteria of the writers was the type of struggle of the workers through the field and the ball.

Kaveri, in response to the question, how did you distance yourself from sloganeering concepts such as attention to national interests and anti-arrogance? He said: We see the domination of the people and their oppression in the images of British domination, and we have refrained from expressing these issues directly. Therefore, there are few rhetorical themes in our story and people simply express their views on existing problems.

This director explained about the suspension of the story due to the new changes in the broadcast schedule of Sima networks: those who follow the story, this suspension will be done for them. Basically, broadcasting every other day or one day a week does not change the way of following the audience. If a series is among the options of the audience, it follows it. One of the positive benefits of this change is that instead of being on the air for one month, the "Defensive Wall" will be broadcast for three months and the audience can easily follow it.

In response to the discussion of issues such as independence, national resources and how to face foreign powers in the "Defensive Wall" series, referring to the challenges of the oil industry workers with the British in 1329 and discussing issues such as nuclear energy, uranium and how to face the country's strategic capacities in the current situation, he said: "Our foundation is not a visual narrative of history, but we have come to tell a story."

Kaveri noted: "If he has a story, drama and narration for the day, he can talk about today." Today's talk is about resistance, looting of national wealth, dominance and influence of foreigners and foreign powers, which we are witnessing even now. All this is in the story. In addition, we wanted to do something about resistance. Now, resistance is not only guarding the borders and diplomacy, but also asserting people's rights in the form of an image.
