I want to produce Vivek’s biopic and hire the director from The West Wing. Call it: Tommy Schlamme’s “Ramaswamy”

Did you know the illustrations in the Persian epic poem book “Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasb” are scattered all over the world?

In this video film producer Arsalan Akhavan talks about how this Persian masterpiece got unbound and sold for parts all over the globe at auctions.

Arsalan’s mother, art historian Dr. Zahra Faridany-Akhavan has spent over four decades reseraching and tracking down every document and archive, and meeting with every person who has interacted with the “Shahnameh”

Dr. Zahra Faridany-Akhavan is a respected scholar and author who has made significant contributions to the study and interpretation of the Shahnameh, written by Ferdowsi. Her book on the Shahnameh delves deep into its historical and cultural significance, offering valuable insights into the timeless tales and characters that have shaped Persian literature.

Thank you @MargaretAtwood and @BrooseMiller for retweeting about the protests in Iran and raising awareness. I think a statement from @handmaidsonhulu would be powerful and appropriate too. For Iranian women, this is not fiction or scripted television.
