MY DREAM GOES ALL THE WAY...TO IRAN

by Negar Mojtahedi

Iranian immigrants share stories of the turmoil they escaped and the new challenges they faced creating new lives in Canada, losing one country while adopting another.

This film documents the intimate stories of six Iranian-Canadians as they share the most painful and beautiful moments of their journeys from Iran to Canada. It is a powerful portrait of the Iranian expatriate, an immigrant population that is often misunderstood and misrepresented. But it's also a universal story of what refugees and immigrants face, uprooting their lives for
a hopeful future.
