On September 28, 2018 the documentary film “Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture” was screened at the US Military Academy in West Point, NY. The event created a unique opportunity for the cadets to learn about the history of the Persian Empire in the Sasanian era (224-651 AD).
The event was organised at the Department of Foreign Languages and moderated by Amir Irani-Tehrani, Persian Program Director at the academy since 2012. Dr. Tehrani actively organises events for the cadets of the US Military Academy to familiarize them with various aspects of Persian (Iranian) culture.

Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture is a 2018 Persian Dutch Network production, funded by Soudavar Memorial and Toos Foundations.
