To Light a Candle is a documentary by journalist Maziar Bahari, author of Then They Came for Me.[1]

The film highlights the persecution of Bahá'ís in Iran and focuses on the stories of those individuals associated with the shutdown of Bahá'í Institute for Higher Education.[2] The film is scheduled to have a World Premiere at Stanford University in May 2014.[1] The film follows a number of other films on the same topic, most notably The Gardener by Makhmalbaf and Iranian Taboo by Alamehzadeh.
