Mystic Iran (2002) Documentary in English
Join filmmaker Aryana Farshad on a mesmerizing journey deep into the heart of her native Iran. Shot entirely on location, this unprecedented cinematic tour reveals spiritual rites and rituals hidden for centuries. From the women’s chamber of the Great Mosque, to the temple-caves in the land of Zarathustra, to the sacred dance of the Dervishes in Kurdistan, discover religious ceremonies and locations never seen by the outside world.
CAC’s Comments: This film does have some very rare footage to share regarding the Dervishes in Kurdistan. Islam is very predominate in this area and for many years Dervishes have been forced underground and ignored. This documentary touches on the unseen spiritual world that has been keep secret and held back from public view. Moreover, this film clearly demonstrates that there is more than one way to praise, worship and honor Allah.
