Tehran -- Tehran’s Sharif University of Technology plans to screen “Alberta Legacy 2”, a documentary which spotlights the brain drain in Iran, on April 30.
Iranian filmmaker Hossein Shamaqdari has directed the documentary with the help of some students at the university, from which many of its graduates immigrate to Europe or North America to continue their studies.
The filmmaker has conducted interviews with the alumni of Iranian universities studying at foreign universities to shed light on the reasons behind their reluctance to return their homeland.
The documentary premiered in the 31st Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran this year in February.
The documentary has been produced at the Arman Media Cultural Institute.
The first episode of the documentary was produced last year. It explains how talented Iranian high-school graduates are attracted by universities in Europe and North America.
