In Iran, the simple pursuit of education comes at an extraordinary cost.
The Forbidden University tells the remarkable true story of Iran's underground Bahá’í university, where students and professors risk arrest and imprisonment to preserve the fundamental right to learn.
Written and directed by Iranian-Canadian filmmaker Nauzanin Knight and produced by Mitra Knight, this powerful feature documentary is executive produced by acclaimed actor Penn Badgley. Featuring stunning visual effects by Oscar-nominated artist Habib Zargarpour and dramatic performances by Parham Rownaghi, Ava Maria Safai, Anthony Azizi, Sepideh Yadegar and Mohammadali Beheshti, the film brings an extraordinary story of courage, resilience and hope to the screen.
This special screening is followed by a live panel discussion with the filmmakers and special guests exploring the film, human rights in Iran and the transformative power of education.
