Veteran film producer/director Jahangir Golestan-Parast, visually captures the horrendous destruction that took 50,000 lives and left tens of thousands injured, orphaned and homeless. Eschewing a sterile narration, Golestan tells the story of tragedy and resurrection through sequential and emotional interviews that allow viewers to draw their own conclusions on a first hand basis.

BAM 6.6 introduces you to Tobb and Adele, the American tourists buried in the rubble, as you experience the personal and medical hospitality extended to Adele and her parents following Tobb's death. Viewers meet tour guide Farzaneh Khatame, who selflessly stayed with the American couple throughout their ordeal. Viewers experience the Iranian   children as they find the inner resources to prevail over such overwhelming loss and destruction. Viewers come to realize the sacrifices made by Jilla Kashef as she works to help these children overcome their vulnerability and  begin a journey of recovery.

Divested of ethnicity, nationality, religion, politics, age and gender, Jahangir tells the story of human love, concern, service and hospitality in hopes that future peace can evolve through understanding, knowledge and education. Jahangir prevailed in bringing this film to fruition during a difficult three and a half year journey that included the mortgaging of his home to shore up dwindling financial resources, numerous setbacks and discouragement. Winner of Best Story, Best Director and Best Documentary at the 2008 Noor Film Festival, Bam 6.6 is an educational journey into human understanding!
