Gando

Specs: IRAN | 2020 | 8m | International Premiere
Filmmaker: Teymour Ghaderi
Theme:  inspiration, species

Girls in Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran have to go far away from their villages to bring water from the pond because of the lack of a fresh water source nearby. Most of these ponds have a kind of Iranian crocodile called Gando living in them that attack humans and that's why most of the children who are forced to fetch the water for their families have lost either their legs or hands. People from this province still treat the Gandos with respect because they believe when there is a Gando, so there is water. GANDO tells the story of a nine-year-old girl named Hawa that has lost her hand to a Gando.
