Mohammad Ali Shabani, director of the documentary "Enhesar-e varaseh (The Heirs' Seclusion)" about the martyr Seyyed Morteza Avini, was a guest on the 286th Shab Khatira program (December 2017). He spoke about the influence of three people on his life. Shabani said: "I would like to mention three dear people who had a great influence on my life. The first was Mohammad Reza Aghasi, whose recitals I used to recite as a child and with those recitals I gained relative fame. I was always afraid that Mr. Aghasi would see these performances. The second; Mr. Mohammad Hossein Qadami is someone who was kind and invited me to the Shab Khatira. When I came to the Shab Khatira and recited, I was so young that if I had stood behind this podium, I would not have been recognized. That is why I stood in front of it. The third; Morteza Avini, who is rightly blamed by our generation. In this Night of Remembrance program, excerpts from the documentary “The Heirs’ Monopoly” about Martyr Avini and a part of Mr. Shabani’s childhood speech in the 4th or 5th Night of Remembrance program were shown. Then, Mohammad Ali Shabani, the director of this documentary, was thanked.”

Validation: Challenges and Necessities

Where does truth stand in oral history? How can the correctness of a narrative be recognized? Does fact-checking matter? If there is exaggeration in the reporting of some accounts, how can it be detected? Is it possible to record an event accurately through the recording of a narrative? Readers and users of oral history works are often faced with these questions, and sometimes encounter doubts about some oral history works.
