Summary:Tall Fences, Taller Trees, directed by Dutch-based Iranian filmmaker, Arash Kamali Sarvestani, is a companion to Chauka, Please Tell Us the Time, which Sarvestani codirected with Kurdish-Iranian writer and Manus Island detainee, Behrouz Boochani. Despite the daunting challenges the collaborators faced in making Chauka, the film was a triumph, feted in film festivals worldwide after its release in 2017. It documents the lives of men in the prime of their life, stuck in a hellish limbo - an essay on tedium, the erosion of hope, and the destruction of the spirit.
