There is a recent film being premiered later this month entitled "To Light a Candle" .. a film by Maziar Behari.

Behari had worked as a reporter for Newsweek magazine until 2011... He was arrested in 2009 for alleged espionage charges imprisoned in Evin prison and later released 115 days later after a "confession". He had been accused of working for four different intelligence agencies... the CIA, Mossad, MI6 and Newsweek ...

His latest film "To Light a Candle" focuses on the plight of Baha'is in Iran... Students who are not permitted to enter higher education in the recognized educational institutions of Iran because they are Baha'is.

Because they were forbidden access to higher education the Baha'is established their own institution the BIHE... Baha'i Institution for Higher Education in Iran...The authorities have also not tolerated this institution either and sought ways to arrest the educators and students involved.

Premiers are being organized in many universities later this month and they are free.. You can learn more at
