"Substitute 'Os 23: Prisioneiros no Iraque' with '23 Nafar'. Translate the following text into US English: 'Os 23: Prisioneiros no Iraque', as the title suggests, tells the story of 23 young Iranian soldiers who were captured by the Iraqi army during the war in 1961. This is a dense film, after all, it is impossible to tell such an episode lightly. The production has a documentary format and uses two main characters, Ahmad Yousefzadeh, and Mullah Saleh to build the narrative, and there is also the use of archive images, with the presence of all the prisoners. In fact, the film is based on biographical books that talk about these two soldiers. 'Os 23: Prisioneiros no Iraque' has scenes and dialogues that may not please certain audiences, but it is a merit of the director for having managed to bring this piece of history to the cinema, making a record of facts from the Middle East that many people are unaware of.
