Hope from Iran – A Short Film by Flavio Azm Rassekh
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 much our 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.
