We had the privilege to feature an advanced screening of Relativity Media's Desert Dancer, opening in US theaters on April 10, 2015.

Set in Tehran during the volatile climate of the 2009 presidential election and the start of the "Green Movement", Desert Dancer tells the story of the struggle to overcome oppression through the eyes of a troupe of dancers. The film marks London-born Richard Raymond's directorial debut. Raymond, along with composer Benjamin Wallfisch, joined host Pete Hammond for a lively post-screening Q&A.
