"Mystic Iran: The Unseen World" is a modern woman’s mystical journey deep into the heart of her native country Iran in search of spiritual rites and rituals hidden for centuries. Despite risking confiscation of filming equipment and traffickers at the border of Iraq, documentary filmmaker Aryana Farshad gained access to underground locations and religious ceremonies that have never been captured on film.
