 “As U.S. government leaders and both presidential candidates are talking about the possibility of going to war against Iran, I would recommend that every American see ‘BAM 6.6’.  I loved this film!” – Frank Dorrel

If there is one country we all need to know more about, it is Iran. Even with all the attention it receives, many Americans have no idea what Iran and its people are really like. We need to inspire our children to take pride in their heritage, and inspire our non-Iranian neighbors to find out what Iranians are really like.

BAM 6.6 documents events surrounding the massive earthquake that destroyed the ancient city of Bam in 2003. The movie is a tale of two Americans, Tobb Dell’Oro and his fiancée Adele Freedman, who were caught in the earthquake. It’s the story of travelers intent on going to the other side of the fence and experiencing a culture for themselves. Breaking down boundaries. It’s also the story of the Iranian people’s unfailing generosity in the face of absolute adversity. It demonstrates that humanity has no borders and that we find good people everywhere.

Can a movie bring about change? Jahangir Golestan, an Iranian-American from Laguna Beach, believes so. He has spent four years of his life making it. He continues to devote all of his energy to spreading its message. BAM depicts humanity at its best & shows the human race’s ability to live in harmony and peace. This is a message which is desperately needed, perhaps now more than at any other point in our history.  ‘BAM 6.6’ won Best Documentary, Best Original Story and Best Director at the Noor Film Festival.

‘After viewing Bam 6.6, I could not stop thinking about how the world needs more films that reach to the very core of what really matters in this world, who we really are, and what really brings us all together. Watch this film. Your heart will thank you for it.’- Lime Radio host and producer Claire Papin.

‘An incredible documentary. This is footage of Iranian people who are just like you and me here in America. This

film shows the compassion of Iranian people towards these American tourists. Eighty percent of Americans never travel abroad to experience other cultures. This is a must-see film.’ - Antiwar Radio host Scott Horton.

Can a movie make a difference? The answer is a resounding yes. It shouldn’t take a catastrophe to bring

human beings together across boundaries – but when it does, we should learn from it.
