Seminal Iranian modern artist and pro-democracy activist Nicky Nodjoumi fled Iran in 1980, joining his wife Nahid and daughter Sara in New York City. Forty years later, Sara begins an investigation to track down and reclaim her father’s lost artwork from Tehran. A Revolution on Canvas chronicles her search while examining religious and political extremism, the sacrifices of creative freedom and activism, and the enduring power of art.
