Director's View

"To what extent is juvenile delinquency rooted in poverty? Aren't social circumstances, whose foundations are laid in the families and then developed in the wider context of the community, among the principal causes of crime among young people?

In our Islamic-Iranian culture family is considered the sanctuary of young people. Thus the responsibility for young people's security begins on the level of the family. 

Those who are separated from their families or have failed to set families of their own for reasons that derive from social conditions, are more exposed to the dangers of misdemeanour.

The Polluted Hands depicts several groups of young people who are dissociated from family circumstances. Could love, in its more elevated and divine form, provide a way out of such a purgatory for the young people?"
