Thousands of people in Iran are denied formal university education due to their religious or ideological beliefs. "Education under Fire" is a 30-minute documentary telling the poignant and compelling story of the Bahai'i Institution for Higher Education (BIHE) -- the only chance for an entire minority community in Iran to receive an education. In May 2011, the BIHE was attacked and another door to a basic human right was closed. The screening of "Education Under Fire" is March 25 at 7.00 pm in McDougall 242.
Sponsored by the faculty of education.
All are welcome.
