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.

BAM 6.6: A documentary film by Jahangir Golestan |
| a |
In 2003, an earthquake measuring 6.6 magnitudes, struck the city of Bam , killing over 50,000 people, injuring over 20,000 residents, and leaving more than 60,000 citizens homeless. The earthquake destroyed much of the beautiful ancient city, known for its old quarter, and decimated its 2,000-year-old citadel. |

I did not know what to expect exactly but I assumed it would put me in tears as any presentation of a human calamity of such a magnitude would do. I certainly did not think that it would bring any joy to me however I went along. |
