About
Hosted by Tiffany Haddish.
"Films like Mashhad are a stern reminder that we need to embrace our differences, form friendships, listen to each other and expand our hearts and our minds." –BOND ON CINEMA
Set in the holy Islamic city of Mashhad in Iran, the short film follows a spirited young ghetto girl, naive to the great lengths her family must go to keep their identity a secret. Unbeknownst to her, an innocent day of play with a neighborhood friend puts her and her family's life in jeopardy. What unfolds is an extraordinary story of religion as oppression, and faith as survival, and a retelling of Iran's long lost ethnic group.
Join us for a Q&A following the event with writer-director Sarah Solemani.
