Set in the holy Islamic city of Mashhad in 1930’s Iran, Mashhad follows Miriam, a young Jewish ghetto girl struggling to understand why her family conceal who they are.Produced by Reboot Studios (The Anne Frank Gift Shop) and inspired by creator Sarah Solemani’s (The Diary of Bridget Jones) family history in the Mashhadi Jewish community, the film offers a rare cinematic window onto a long-suppressed chapter of Iranian Jewish life.
