Baha'is and the

Modernisation of Iran

This series, created in collaboration with the Bahai community, highlights the enduring contributions of Iranian Baha’is to the modernization of Iran, even as they continue to face relentless persecution. For decades, the Baha’i community has been subjected to systemic discrimination, crackdowns, and widespread oppression by the Iranian government, yet their vision and commitment to progress have left an indelible mark on the nation’s history.

Through their pioneering efforts in education, cultural enrichment, and social reform, Iranian Baha’is have played a transformative role in building a modern and progressive society. However, their achievements have been systematically erased from public knowledge through censorship and propaganda, as the government seeks to suppress their legacy and silence their voices.

This series not only restores a vital chapter of Iran’s history but also aims to educate audiences about the ongoing persecution faced by the Baha’i community. It is a tribute to their resilience and a powerful reminder of their significant contributions to the nation’s identity and progress.
