What: The 30-minute documentary Education Under Fire profiles the growth, struggle, and inspiring spirit of the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education. Baha'is in Iran spirit of the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education. Baha'is in Iran have been subjected to systematic persecution, including arrests, torture, and execution simply for refusing to recant their beliefs. They are also prohibited from going to college (and blocked from many professions)
“One of the most powerful human documentaries I have ever seen, Education Under Fire is sure to galvanize viewers who will be exposed to an outrage that until now has received little attention – the systematic denial of an entire religious community of the right to pursue higher education in their own country." -- Elise Auerbach, Iran Specialist for Amnesty International USA.
Join us for some delicious refreshments and an informative discussion of this timely issue. Co-sponsored by the Sierra Club and the Sociology Department at Dartmouth College.
