“Education Under Fire” is a documentary about the plight of Iranians in the Baha’i faith, and their struggle to get higher education in the country of Iran.
“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
“Education is fundamentally a human rights issue. Without the right to educate, it deprives people to be fully themselves, in order for us to continuessly advance our civilization as a human species, in this time and age we can no longer deny anyone the right to education.”
– Dr. Jia-Yi Cheng-Levine, Professor at College of the Canyons, and Coordinator of the Celebrating Humanities Program, 2012
