TEHRAN (AIPFF) – On the second day of AIPFF, the documentary “Power and Impotence”, directed by Anna Recalde Miranda, is going to be screened on Thursday, 25th of August in Soureh Hall of Howzeh Honari at 20:30 p.m.

The film is providing an insight on the sense and the limits of politics, on the paradoxes of democratic systems nowadays. A Shakespearian contemporary drama about power.

“Power and Impotence” is the true story of Paraguay’s president “the bishop of the poor” who won the presidential election in Paraguay after 61 years of dictatorship.

This documentary is a moc-democracy drama about power. In a political thriller crescendo, we follow the adventures of Fernando Lugo, former bishop of the Liberation Theology elected President of Paraguay in 2008. Until the tragic ending, the coup d’état of June 2012, we benefit from a unique behind-the-scene point of view.

The 3rd edition of Ammar International Popular Film Festival starts on the 24th of August in Teheran, capital city of Iran. The date of the festival is coincided with the 63rd anniversary of the US-sponsored 1953 coup d’état against the government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq.

The mission of Ammar festival is to help the world become familiarized with the Iranian culture and promote the true image of Iran and the Iranian people.
