Amid the shadows of oppression in Iran, THE FORBIDDEN UNIVERSITY unveils a secret beacon of hope. Explore the clandestine world of the Bahá'í Institute for Higher Education, an informal underground university created by the Bahá’ís of Iran in a country where, for them, education is a crime. With poignant interviews and stunning rotoscoped animation (crafted by the Academy Award-winning studio behind The Perfect Storm and Blade Runner), this made-in-Edmonton doc shines a light on the courageous souls who dare to defy tyranny for the sake of education.
