Water Lorry • Directed by Hadi Afarideh • 2021 • Iran

Set in Sistan and Baluchistan Province and narrated by residents of the local villages, Water Lorry shows the difficult lives of those who face severe drought. Due to the lack of water, people go to lakes to wash their clothes and retrieve the water they need. Small children often play along the water’s edge, and in one scene a young girl shyly looks into the camera and tells the story of when she was attacked by a crocodile and lost a hand. The second half of the film focuses on teaching adults and children about crocodiles and where in the lakes these animals might appear. Afarideh effectively structures a narrative in which he links the drought to unfortunate incidents that could occur as a result.
