Mahdieh Zardiny has been working on a documentary about Sardari’s life and the lives of those he helped save, and as part of this project there has been an application made for him to be recognised in the List of Righteous Among the Nations at the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. Zardiny will discuss the project and show some clips from this upcoming documentary.
