The Iranian film has won the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary feature at the 14th edition of the American film festival.

Established in 2004, the Houston Asian American Pacific Islander Film Festival (HAAPI Film Festival) aims to “celebrate the diversity of culture, food, and stories of the AAPI community and to support AAPI artists and filmmakers.”
The 14th edition of the event was held on 31 May to 8 June in Texas, United States.
