202-		 The release of the short film called Hope from Iran by producer/director Flavio Azm Rassekh in association with PersianBMS..

In this short film called 'Hope from Iran', producer/director Flavio Azm Rassekh attempts to show that although hopelessness has become a major theme in society today, through the stories of four very different individuals, there is still hope, which was born in Persia 200 years ago and it has spread to over 120 thousand localities around the globe. For Iranians, hope will come from nowhere else in the world but from the heart of the country.

The film features four Bahá'ís:

  • Sueli Inuma Dos Santos from the village of Iranduba in the Amazon (0:00-05:54)
  • Erika Batdorf, an artist from Toronto (05:55-10:22)
  • Guillaume Nyagatare, a professor of Agricultural Engineering from Kigali, Rwanda (10:23-16:38)
  • Yasmin Hariri, a business student from Toronto (16:43-22:50)

    Hope from Iran 2. This film takes on a slightly different angle by exploring the lives of four very talented women who have been touched, not only by the Bahá'í Faith, but in particular by the life and example of a famous Persian poetess and Bahá'í heroin known as Tahirih.

    This film features four young women:

  • Rachel Price, Singer, Brooklyn, NY
  • Parisa Fitz-Hanley, Actor, Los Angeles
  • Kimia Ferdowsi Kline, Painter, Nashville, TN
  • Melody Ehsani, Designer, Los Angeles

    Hope from Iran 3. 'Hope from Iran 3' is the final film of the 'Hope from Iran' trilogy, and this time, filmmaker Flavio Azm Rassekh focuses on the unique story of two Iranian Baha'is who left Iran right after the Islamic Revolution to start a new life abroad. Their stories have a deep connection with the current situation in Iran today, and in the end, it all comes back together in a full circle.
