About: It was a golden age for Jews in Iran. In the 1950s, a religious Jew, Younes Dardashti, became a national celebrity, singing at the Shah’s palace and on the radio. In the 1960s, his son Farid became a teen idol on TV. But at the height of their fame, they left the country.

Sisters Danielle Dardashti (Emmy award winning documentarian) and Galeet Dardashti (renowned musician and anthropologist of Middle Eastern Jewish culture) uncover the mystery of why their family left Iran revealing painful secrets unspoken for generations. This lecture / performance is based on their podcast of the same name.
