When the Moon Was Full (Persian: شبی‌ که ماه کامل شد) is a 2019 Iranian drama film written and directed by Narges Abyar.

The film is based on the true story of the brother and sister-in-law of Abdolmalek Rigi, the former leader of the Jundallah terrorist group in the Iran's southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.

[3] Abdolhamid is the younger brother of Abdolmalek Rigi, the leader of the Jundallah (Soldiers of God) terrorist group who spread terror in southeastern Iran while being supported by Taliban.

[2] Abdolmalek Rigi calls Faezeh and Shahab's father, and tells him to watch a video of his son's beheading on Al-Arabiya the following night.

[2] The unnamed officers who arrested the Rigi brothers tell the Iranian media that Abdolmalek had been on his way to a meeting with diplomat Richard Holbrooke near Bishkek.

[3] Sociologist Emad Afrough said in an interview with Khabar Online that "the film accurately depicts Islamic extremism and the culture of the Baloch people".

[9] She writes: "It's not a perfect film – characters' viewpoints shift like the sands, undercutting the build-up of suspense, and even the two-hour-plus running time is too short to do justice to the Al-Qaeda scenes.
