Addie Morfoot Contributor HBO Documentary Films’ “A Revolution on Canvas,” about Iranian revolutionary artist and activist Nickzad “Nicky” Nodjoumi, is set to debut on HBO and Max on March 5.

The 95-minute docu directed by his daughter, Sara Nodjoumi, and her husband, Till Schauder (“When God Sleeps”), is an art-heist-thriller-meets-portrait doc that recounts how Nickzad was forced to flee Iran in 1980 due to the controversial nature of his paintings on display at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.

The film delves into the disappearance of over 100 “treasonous” paintings made by the artist, while also capturing Nodjoumi and Schauder’s attempt to not only track down his lost paintings, but also reclaim them.
