Mahyad Tousi, who will be present at the screening, takes us into Iran for an intimate portrayal of disadvantaged children supported by the Child Foundation. In 1994, two cousins, one in the U.S. and the other in Iran, started a charity to help children from low-income families to stay in school. in 2003, as the first generation of these children graduates from college, it is the largest Iranian charity organization in the world. Since its creation, the Child Foundation has helped more than 10,000 children in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. (English/subtitles)
