High Noon Film Series: Caught Between Two Worlds

August 13, 2010 | 12:00PM - 5:00PM

Caught Between Two Worlds examines the complexities and challenges faced by Iranians who now make their home in the United States, a population estimated at 600,000–1,000,000. Weaving together excerpts from the lives of artists, political activists, journalists and academics in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and New York City —both Jewish and Muslim, young and old—the film explores the diversity of Iranian-Americans who make up a virtual nation in exile.
