To Light a Candle: A Film by Maziar Bahari

February 21, 2015 @ 7:30 pm

Iran stops the Baha’i from teaching and studying at the university, but they do teach, and they do study. Since 1987 the Baha’is started BIHE, an underground university with hundreds of students in Iran, and dozens of teachers in Iran and around the world. Through powerful interviews, exclusive secret footage shot by citizen journalists, rare archival material and dramatic letters written by a Baha’i prisoners currently in jail in Iran, To Light a Candle shows how a small minority has defied the brutal systematic religious persecution through non-violent resistance and educating their youth. The screening of the film will be followed by Q & A with former staff and student of the Baha’i Institute of Higher Education. Learn more about the campaign at educationisnotacrime.me
