Molana’s Birthplace

This historical documentary explores the site believed to be the birthplace of Molana, the poet and mystic also known as Rumi.

The site is a traditional mud-brick building that has stood for centuries, and it remains a physical and spiritual landmark for the people who live around it.

Through interviews with two experts and local residents, the film compares the story passed down through generations with the view of a historian, and shows how the site shapes the community’s identity today. See more of our documentary work.
