Since the Pulitzer Prize for journalism was established nearly a hundred years ago; only one winning photograph has ever had an anonymous creator. In 2006, after three decades of fearing for his life, Jahangir Razmi at last revealed himself to be the photographer of "Firing Squad in Iran," the 1979 Pulitzer Prize-winning photo of the execution of eleven Kurdish men just after the end of the Iranian Revolution. A DRESS REHEARSAL FOR AN EXECUTION records the multi-year process of meticulously recreating the photograph -- an icon of resistance.
