I’m honoured to have been invited by the Rocky Mountain Section of The Alpine Club of Canada to share my documentary, Iran Above 4,000.

 

The film follows my journey to scramble 44 summits above 4,000 metres in 44 days across Iran. What began as a physical mountain challenge became a deeply personal journey through resilience, perseverance, identity, and my lifelong connection with Iran’s mountains.

 

I’ll also briefly share my journey as a mountaineer and filmmaker, from Iran to Canada, before screening the film.

 

Most importantly, Iran Above 4,000 is an invitation to see Iran beyond the headlines — through its mountains, climbing culture, and the people who call these landscapes home.
