Do you know what a Parsi is?

Tonight Ali and I are watching a movie called "Such a Long Journey" about the Persians in India (who came to be known as Parsis).

Parsis are those who fled to India when the Arabs came into Persia and demanded they choose between Islam or death. They took the ancient religious teachings of Zoroastria with them.

Here's some information about the Parsi People.

Here is a link to the work of Sooni Taraporevala [link], who has done a photo series and film about the Parsi people.
