“A Dress for Mona” Trailer
Mona Mahmudnizhad was a teacher of children’s classes in the Baha’i community of Shiraz, Iran. In 1983, during the country’s intense political revolution, Mona became a target of the regime’s persecution of religious minorities, and at age 16, was executed along with 9 other women. Twenty years later, Mark Perry and The Drama Circle performed a play to honor her story of service, emprisonment and martyrdom.
