In 2008, Bill completed the edit of "Bam 6.6," a 54-minute
documentary in collaboration with Iranian-American producer, Jahangir
Golestan. Now in DVD release, it tells the true story of Tobb and Adele,
a young American couple visiting the ancient city of Bam in Iran.
On December 24, 2003, a major earthquake struck trapping them under
the debris of their collapsed hotel. What they experienced and the efforts of
Adele's parents to help them form the suspenseful, emotional heart of
the story.
The film features first-person accounts from
Bam survivors and the rescue efforts by the many international agencies
that assisted in the aftermath. It makes a powerful statement: that when
two diverse cultures are given the opportunity to work together, new
awareness can happen and an inspiring sense of world community can
develop, a new reality that transcends politics and fear.
