Following the poetry reading, we will screen the documentary “Ahmad Shamlou: Master Poet of Liberty.”
“Ahmad Shamlou: Master Poet of Liberty” is a film about the life and work of Ahmad Shamlou, one of Iran’s greatest poets. It tells the story of how his poems spoke about freedom, justice, and human rights. Through old videos, interviews, and readings of his poetry, the documentary shows how Shamlou used his words to inspire people and stand up against unfairness. It’s a touching look at a man whose voice gave hope and courage to many.
