DESCRIPTION:*"TO LIGHT A CANDLE"\, A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY MAZIAR BAHARI*\n\
 nFilm duration: 55 minutes\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7aE2
 7GyMMo\n\n_Iran stops Bahá'ís from teaching and studying at university. 
 But they do teach. And they do study._\n\n"To Light a Candle" chronicles t
 he lives of Bahá'ís in Iran\, who have triumphed against unbelievable ha
 rdships and persecution. The Bahá'ís are a religious minority that are s
 ystematically imprisoned\, tortured and killed by the Iranian government.\
 n\nThe Islamic regime bans the Bahá'ís to study or teach in Iranian univ
 ersities. Since 1987 the Bahá'ís started the Bahá'í Institute for High
 er Education (BIHE)\, an underground university with hundreds of students 
 in Iran\, and dozens of teachers in Iran and around the world. Through pow
 erful interviews\, exclusive secret footage shot by citizen journalists\, 
 rare archival material and letters written by a Bahá'í prisoner currentl
 y in jail in Iran\, "To Light a Candle" shows how a small minority has def
 ied the brutal systematic religious persecution through non-violent resist
 ance and educating their youth.\n\nAdmission is free and open to all.
