Bam 6.6 is the story of the human condition. The film weaves together stories of survival, loss, and healing, as we explore the humanity of the Iranian people through the prism of the devastating 2003 earthquake that struck at the heart of Bam, an ancient Iranian village.



Our subjects come from different walks of life- an American woman, an American businessman, and the Iranian residents of Bam.



Through their experiences, we will witness how a natural disaster can overcome religious and political barriers, dispel stereotypes, and unite disparate members of the human family.



Seating is on a first-come first-serve basis. A Q&A panel with the Film Producer and Director will follow the film screening.
