Mokhtar-nameh (Mokhtar Narratives) – Farsi with English Subtitle

Al-Mokhtar Thaqafi (Saghafi) was the head for the rebels who did a massive effort to take revenge from those who martyred Imam Hussain and his companions (PBUT) and captivated the family of Imam Hussain (PBUH).  He was born in 1 AH (the year of the migration of the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) from Mecca to Medina) and grew up in Mecca.  His father, Abi Ubayda, was one of the commanders in conquering Persians in the area about East Iraq.  After his father, he settled in Kufa, a new town after Persia conquer.

He was a hardcore Shia of Imam Ali (PBUH) and had served him and his son, Imam Hassan (PBUH).  He had also seen the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF).  When Imam Hussain (PBUH) did not pledge with Yazid (may the Almighty Allah curse him) and moved towards Iraq, he was in the way of making his mind to support Moslem Ibn Aqeel (PBUH).  However, he was too late and Moslem was martyred before Mokhtar and his gathering reach Kufa.  Although he had decided to welcome Imam Hussain (PBUH), he was unexpectedly jailed by Umayyad.  He was released when the story of Karbala was unfortunately ended and thus, in order to make it up, he prepared for revenge.  This decision put him in a particular way and, creating a revolution, made him much more well-known than he already was.  Mokhtar-nameh serial have actually taken the story into the TV.

The serial has been written and directed by Mr Davoud Mir-Baqeri, the director of the famous serial of Imam Ali (PBUH).  This 40 episode serial has taken eight years to produce, and very famous actors and actresses have been used for the roles.  The serial cost $20m and is considered as the most expensive TV production in Iran.  IRIB3, one of Jaam-e-Jam TV, broadcast the serial in Farsi with English subtitles.
