Synopsis

When Iran’s ayatollah banned music in the entire country, instruments became contraband, and artists were exiled, imprisoned, and executed. As the government rescinded human rights and self expression, Mohammad Reza Shajarian risked everything to confront the regime, singing truth to power. The film is seen through the animated prism of Shajarian’s internationally renowned song, “Morghe Sahar”, performed at the finale of all his concerts and widely considered the Unofficial National Anthem for Iranian Freedom.
