Ebrahim Afshar's "Out of Breath" is a moving, human-centered documentary that unflinchingly examines the tragic fates of forgotten Iranian sports heroes. Through journalistic precision and literary empathy, Afshar recounts the lives of 39 celebrated athletes who, despite their achievements, faced decline, isolation, poverty, or untimely death. The book exposes the neglected and often unjust realities of Iranian sports history, where glory and oblivion coexist. Simultaneously an oral history of Iranian sports and a social critique of systemic indifference towards its heroes, "Out of Breath" compels reflection on victory, defeat, and the human condition in the face of adversity through its accessible prose and poignant, detail-rich narratives.
