Crossing the Desert
In the summer of 1987, Payam Zamani fled Iran. Raised by his parents under the peaceful teachings of the Baha’i Faith, he had already survived years of religious persecution at the hands of a fundamentalist regime. Taking the only path available to him, he escaped to Pakistan through the Emptiness Desert: a harrowing five-day trek through one of the hottest, driest, and most hostile regions on the planet.
