Inspired by hours of in-depth interviews by Humans of New York creator, Brandon Stanton, and directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker, Nicholas Mihm; ‘Bubjan’ chronicles the journey of Parwiz Zafari - an Iranian man who has been living in exile in the United States since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Parwiz was a member of the Iranian parliament, where he dedicated his life to cultivating a progressive, modern, and free society in Iran. But the rise of the Islamic Republic eclipsed those aspirations, and forced him to leave behind everything he knew. Told from the perspectives of Parwiz and his eldest son, Abarmard Maziar; we delve into the mythology behind the principles Parwiz learned as a boy. Principles that guided him as a young idealistic man in government, and that continue to guide him as a displaced elder living amongst the Iranian diaspora. Parwiz has held on to the belief that Iran will one day become a free country, and the hope that a new generation will carry the torch towards a brighter future for his homeland.
