We will be screening the film, BAM 6.6: Humanity Has No Borders,\" produced and directed by Jahangir Golestan, an Iranian-American from Laguna Beach, which focuses on the events surrounding the massive earthquake that destroyed the ancient city of Bam, Iran in 2003. The movie is a tale of two Americans, Tobb Dell\'Oro and his fiancée Adele Freedman, who were caught in the earthquake. It\'s the story of travelers intent on going to the other side of the fence and experiencing a culture for themselves. It's also the story of the Iranian people’s unfailing generosity in the face of absolute adversity. It demonstrates that humanity has no borders and that we find good people everywhere. Mr. Golestan, the producer/director of "BAM 6.6," will be present to talk about his experiences making the film and answer questions from the audience. "This is a very moving film. It is poignant. It is very effective in getting its message across that we are all one people... -- BRUCE LAINGEN Former US hostage in Iran
