“Tattoo Your Dreams”

🎬 Directed by Mehdi Ganji
🎥 Produced by Behzad Tavakoli

What does it mean to dream big when the odds are stacked against you? Tattoo Your Dreams is a powerful, visually striking documentary that follows a group of young Iranian boys chasing a near-impossible dream—to become world-class footballers in a system that rewards only the elite few.

Through the lens of football, this film explores themes of inequality, aspiration, and the cost of chasing fame in a world that celebrates wealth and celebrity. One standout quote captures the staggering disparity:

“We will have to work for 800 years to earn the money footballers make each season!”

This event invites you to reflect on ambition, exploitation, and the global sports economy—while celebrating the resilience of youth and the universal language of dreams.
