Synopsis

Anthony Azizi, an Iranian-American actor and member of the Baha’i faith, discusses the rising persecution of Baha’i communities in Iran amid the U.S.-Iran conflict. He highlights the imprisonment and torture of Baha’i individuals, calling it a 'war on human rights.' Azizi stars in the film 'Cast Aside the Clouds,' which explores the challenges faced by Baha’i people in Iran. The film, set in Iran and shot in Athens, follows a young Baha’i woman navigating systemic persecution and a forbidden romance with a Muslim neurologist. The film will have its U.S. premiere in New York City on May 18, followed by a Los Angeles premiere in June.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
