What The Doves Said: The Director (Book Four)

By Mojdeh Marashi

An Iranian film directed by a familiar name reminds the author of one of her parents’ close friends, the director’s family, and how everybody’s lives, including hers, changed after the revolution, the hostage crisis, and the Iran-Iraq war. She recalls the years she lived in the States and the transformation she went through, from being perceived as an exotic Persian girl whose father owned an oil well, to a dangerous I-rain-ian.

She is the Managing Partner at Blurred Whisper, an Idea and Design studio in Palo Alto, California, which she co-founded in 2002.
