THE DAWN IS TOO FAR: STORIES OF IRANIAN-AMERICAN LIFE
"The Dawn is Too Far shares a multi-generational perspective of Iranians who came to the U.S. as students, refugees and exiles, particularly after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, and charts the longer history of Iranian Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area."
Directed by Persis Karim
The Dawn is Too Far: Stories of Iranian-American Life poetically narrates the story of a community of Iranian Americans who have made the San Francisco Bay Area their home over the past five decades. The film explores Iranian immigration through turbulent histories of dissent, revolution, war, and separation, and the reinvention of identity in a new land and culture.
