In this personal documentary, Aryana Farshad seeks out the spiritual rituals connected with sacred sites in Iran, her home country which she has not visited since the establishment of the clerical regime of Mullahs in Iran for more than twenty-five years. She documents prayer at the Great Mosque of Qom, Kashan, the land of Zarathustra, and male and female dervishes in Kurdistan. Through her examination of these various spiritual influences, she comments on the use of religion as a buffer between the pull of Western culture and the rules of traditional society. the film is beautifully narrated by the Academy Award nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Why is it that every single time a woman produces a documentary it has to make it about other women or women issues. I came to see a documentary about Iran spiritual places , not just the female saints and the female dervishes. Leave your feminist BS out or give it a different name
