An Eye for an Eye, winner of a Special Jury Mention and Best Documentary Editing awards at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, and winner of The Grand Prix for Impact Documentary at Fipadoc 2026 is a real-life courtroom thriller that takes you inside a justice system unlike any other, where a grieving family gets to decide: retribution, or forgiveness. It's the intimate story of one mother, her daughters, and an impossible negotiation over the price of a life.

The film is directed by Tanaz Eshaghian and Farzad Jafari and critics have called it "taut, emotional and provocative" (The Hollywood Reporter) and "one of the best documentaries of the year" (Loud and Clear Reviews).
