"I have watched you film repeatedly over the past two days, plus all the extras, and the only thing that I'm ready to share with you is that you are the true star of the Bam 6.6 DVD. I know that the one thing we agreed on before now is that the hardest thing to get people to take an interest in is a positive story. Since (1) there are so many facets to the story that you have pulled together and (2) I only have a hint of what directions you have pursued to date, I hesitate to tell you more until we have had a few more conversations. The opening credits are great but after that there are so many issues; muslim culture, Iranian culture, Iranian Jews, natural disaster, humanity's borders, regional issues, tribes, prejudice, religion, education. Pick your priorities. Bam 6.6 establishes the foundations for a whole host of discussions. Truly, as you show in your additional comments, you have set the tone for all of it.
This is the link to the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy , where Rory Stewart [who I referenced in my blog ] is the new director. If there is anyone alive who should be more than sympathetic to your mission it would be him."

"Dear Jahangir,
I was very impressed with your film. After learning about it from our conference call and my friend Carol who spoke so highly of you, I decided to purchase it. I was very moved by it and believe the side of the Iranian people that is portrayed in Bam 6.6 needs to be seen by the whole US population to right the wrongs of the last administration and the media.
If you asked the average American what kind of compassion the Iranians have, you would get answers about violence and hatred most likely as that is how the media has portrayed them. We as Americans and as loving humans need to realize how Iran and their people are not so different than America and our people.
To learn also that you put your house on the line to make this film impressed me that much more as it showed how important the message is and that is must be shared.
Thanks to you and those that helped you make Bam 6.6 we will know more truth about Iran and how compassionate their people are.
Blessings to you and your family"

LAGUNA HILLS Jahangir Golestan-Parast still remembers how decades ago on a couple of occasions his principal shone the flashlight inside a dark movie theater and hauled him and his friends back to school.
The boys had skipped math classes in their native Isfahan, Iran, and snuck away to the local cinema, which showed classic American films with heroes like John Wayne and Charles Bronson, dubbed in Farsi.
