Pahlevani

After decades of living abroad, Dr. Khashayar reconnects with his Iranian roots by mastering the ancient martial art of Pahlevani. Driven to introduce this ancient practice to a Western audience, he studies chiropractic science, merging modern anatomy with traditional Zurkhaneh healing techniques to treat contemporary sports injuries. The documentary chronicles his journey alongside his diverse students, including women who are breaking long-standing gender barriers to reclaim their cultural history, and the passing of this living legacy from father to son.
