This is a Free the Hikers film about Josh Fattal, still unjustly detained in Iran along with Shane Bauer. No matter where Josh is, his interest in his environs combined with his kind and thoughtful nature provoke a deep sense of admiration from others. The film contains footage, photos and quotations from Josh's loved ones in an attempt to begin to capture the extraordinary person he is. It starts with letters to him from his family, his roots, and continues to share reflections from childhood and university friends. It then gives a glimpse into how much he was valued as a colleague and friend at Aprovecho Research and Education Centre. The majority of the film shares Josh's journey as the Teaching Fellow on the International Honors Program Health and Community Study Abroad Program. The intense journey took Josh to Switzerland, India, China, and South Africa from Jan-May 2009 with 33 students, 3 co-faculty, and multiple country partners. We hope that sharing this will help to speed his return to us and allow him to resume his journey. See www.freethehikers.org for more information

  • I just saw Sarah on the DEMOCRACY Now interview/story with Amy Goodman, i hope & pray for a successful resolution with the court in Iran that is upcoming, & I empathize w/ Sarah's PTSD and i'll PASS ALONG the news of this case on FACEBOOK & i'll go to ur website;-)...peace, Rob M.

  • Thank you for such a sincere and accurate portrayal of Josh's many wonderful qualities. I am sure he has had to tap all of his talents to endure this unjust detainment. Fortunately, he has many to tap and will emerge (shortly) even stronger yet. - Uncle Fred.

  • Thank you for showing us Josh's beautiful spirit with this film . He has touched so many and continues to do so.

    It is time for him and Shane to come home.

    My heart goes out to his family and many friends.
