500 Years of Friendship

Director Abby Mohaddes shares the story of her father’s enduring bond with his college friends, spanning over forty years.

Dubbed the “Nebraska Group,” these men from Iran found solace and strength in each other’s company as they navigated both the political strife of the Iranian Revolution and the Iran Hostage Crisis as well as the typical challenges of college life while studying at the University of Nebraska as foreign students.

Joining her father and his friends as they take a sentimental journey back to Lincoln, Nebraska, Abby bears witness to the power of the group’s friendship, a bond that now transcends generations.
