Iran, 1993. A judge issues an official death sentence to Mehdi Dibaj, a man already imprisoned for 10 years. Dibaj's only crime is converting from Islam to Christianity. A copy of the execution order is leaked to Haik Hovsepian, the leader of Evangelical Christians in Iran. Haik, at peril to his own life, bravely releases the document to the international community and launches a campaign to bring an end to the civil rights violations secretly but officially being perpetrated by the Iranian Isalmic courts. Through Haik’s efforts intense international pressure mounts and the Iranian government is forced to release Dibaj at the eleventh hour to save face with the international community…but, there is a price to pay. A Cry From Iran documents the life of Haik Hovsepian and the incredible impact one man made when he fully surrendered his own life in love of others. It is expertly documented including astonishing behind the scenes hidden camera documentary footage filmed during the events in Iran. A Cry From Iran is an epic true story that has inspired viewers from all backgrounds as to the power of love and the difference we can make living out the command of Jesus, "Love others as yourself."
