The Forensic Institue
In the basement of the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute, every day initiates a new journey in search of truth and justice.
There, in the autopsy rooms, the institute’s doctors are trying to solve a mystery: what caused the death of the still figure lying in front of them and what cut his life.
Through intimate and close documentation, “The Forensic Institute” accompanies the doctors who chose forensic medicine as their profession; examining how the death surrounding them impacts their lives, their sense of mission motivating them and the defense mechanisms needed to live, love and laugh at their workplace and in their personal lives.
