After Iran's ayatollah banned music, artists were exiled, imprisoned, and executed. Legendary Maestro Shajarian risked everything to confront the regime, singing truth to power and uniting the country with his message of freedom.

Ratings and reviews

I had the privilege of attending a screening of 'The Voice of Dust and Ash' at Stanford University, accompanied by my daughter and mother and there was not a dry eye in the house. I've been waiting for it ever since. This film transcends mere storytelling; it is a profound journey through the heart and soul of Iranian resilience. It is a film not only for fans of Shajarian but those interested in Iranian culture and speaks universally to the power of art and individual voice. This is a must see.
