The trailer gives us a glimpse into the life and the gruesome death of Shakereh Khaleeli (maiden name Namazie). Belonging to a respected family, a beautiful heiress, she seemed to have it all – a distinguished and highly placed husband, four lovely daughters, a busy social life. Yet, she left everything behind to marry another man.

The docu-series takes a look at what prompted Shakereh to act out the way she did. What drove her to leave her family and friends? What were the events that led to the day she disappeared without a trace?

Writer and director, Patrick Graham, said, “With ‘Dancing On The Grave’, there was a joint vision that the team shared – a gruesome crime had taken place and yet the whys and the hows of the case remained a mystery. It was our goal to shine a light on this macabre and tragic story. Years of in-depth research have been put in to bringing out as many facts and details as possible and, though the case has been revisited by people on and off, I believe our docu-series will present viewers with inside information and an insight into the victim herself.”

Elaborating further, Graham said, “It was great to get a chance to collaborate with Ankit Gupta, as well as the whole team at ‘India Today’, who partook passionately in long periods of intense research, travelling, and interviewing to get this story told. It was also amazing to be able to work with Prime Video and we’re all looking forward to audiences across the world to unravel the mysteries of this tragic and haunting story.”
