Bubjan is the story of a life lived. This is 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 making Iran a progressive, modern, and free society — before the Islamic Republic swept it all away, and he was forced to leave behind everything he knew. Told from the perspectives of Parwiz and his eldest son, we hear the mythology behind the principles he 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 toward a brighter future for his homeland.
