Blood Money and Moral Labyrinths The recent acquisition of Iranian documentary "An Eye for an Eye" by Jolt Film has brought attention to a gut wrenching case that highlights the dark underbelly of Iran's justice system.
The film, co directed by Tanaz Eshaghian and Farzad Jafari, chronicles the true story of Tahereh, who killed her abusive husband in self defense but was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
The documentary focuses on the "blood money" practice, where the victim's family can pardon a convicted killer for a cash payment.
