Stone Roof

A documentary by Roya Rabbani

“Stone Roof” is a documentary that seeks to reveal the complexities of a seemingly insignificant life. Through the story of Hadi, an isolated and forgotten man living in the mountains, we witness the universal desires for freedom, community, and purpose that drive us all. Despite his desperate circumstances, Hadi demonstrates an unwavering humanity and kindness that cannot be restrained. His voice is one of many forgotten voices that deserve to be heard.
By exploring the themes of human existence and struggle for self-identity through Hadi’s experiences, “Stone Roof” challenges us to see the human behind today’s social norms and standards. It raises critical questions about the core values of mankind and what truly gives our lives meaning. In a world fractured by cultural differences and marginalized individuals, “Stone Roof” offers a glimpse of commonality and shared humanity.
