"Yesterday I was able to find time to go on your website and roam around. I'm impressed and grateful that you and your film, BAM 6.6 have received as much exposure and acceptance that it has. Being shown at the National Cathedral in Washington with one of the 1979 hostages in the audience was a wonderful step in the right direction toward changing attitudes toward Iran that have been feed by propaganda."
"You have made an extraordinary film to be very proud of! I was stunned by BAM 6.6!! I watched it and then immediately watched it again. And I want everybody I know to watch it. So when I get back from Iran I will have a party to watch the film. I don't think I can express it any better than you did "complex yet subtle web of interactions" shown with great clarity and sensitivity. And all the accolades I have read are right on. I don't think I can add anything any better."
"The editor did a marvelous job of putting together the images to tell the story you wanted to tell. It is not easy to put together such a mixture of horror, compassion, and ultimately recognition that we are all one mass of humanity. And that most people's behavior reveals that fact. A recognition that brings us to the doorstep of hope for better relations between all people regardless of religion, ethnicity or nationality; and particularly for America and Iran at this point in time. It is not people that is the problem, it is the governments... everywhere."

"The documentary Bam 6.6, which I recently saw with some friends, is an extraordinary film. As a peace activist concerned about a possible war in Iran, I feel that this film could educate the public on how hospitable and generous the Iranians and Muslims really are. This is a must see for all Americans who wish to learn more about this beautiful country, for there were spectacular shots of Isfahan, Bam, Persepolis, and Tehran which makes it a very cultural film as well. The film brings a profound message of hope and peace and we meet the real Iranian people. I hope other people will be able to see this remarkable documentary."

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.
