This short documentary immerses viewers in the fascinating and tragic saga of Iran’s greatest cultural treasure: the Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasb. Renowned for its exquisite, now-scattered illustrations, each valued at over £4 million, this Safavid Persian masterpiece has suffered from decades of vandalism, dispersal, and commercial exploitation. Yet, through the diligent research of Dr. Zahra Faridany-Akhavan, an ambitious new initiative is underway to digitally reunite and preserve the manuscript’s legacy.
