Spenta Productions | In Search of Cyrus the Great

Spenta Productions was founded by Cyrus Kar with one simple mission: to shed light on history's most pivotal moments, which, for whatever reason, have gone untold or mistold. We believe that an accurate account of history will lead to a better understanding of the present.

To do this, he has traveled to remote corners of the world and take our audience on a journey back in time. We bring history back to life not just by filming the actual remnants of the past, but by recreating buildings, cities and battle scenes using 3-D computer generated imaging.

Unfortunately history's most pivotal, yet untold stories took place in some of today's most dangerous regions. Our staff has endured floggings, survived bombs, dodged bullets and served harsh prison time in our ongoing effort to set the historical record straight.


By filming on location, he was able to capture the atmosphere and cultural essence of each individual country as it is today, including war-torn Iraq. Documentary films also benefit from the priceless folklore passed down over generations by native populations. Their tales often bear nuggets of truth that can tie together disparate scientific data. But we leave their plausibility to the discretion of our viewers.

His current project is about Cyrus The Great, founder of the Persian Empire. 500 years before Christ, Persia was the first empire to rule the world, from Greece and Egypt in the west to India and China in the east.

For the first time in film history, Spenta will lift the Persian Empire from historical obscurity, by bringing you the factual story of its forgotten founder. We hope you enjoy our sneak preview of, 'In Search Of Cyrus The Great," by clicking here.

An accurate rendering of history is more important today than ever before. Our goal is to set the historical record straight through the power of film. At Spenta Productions we are committed to reporting history, based on the latest scientific data, devoid of political or demographic bias.

Virtually all the raw footage has been filmed. But he need s to raise another $430,000 to finish post-production of this historic film. You can donate by clicking here.

Wake up call to all Iranians: If you don't rise and stand on your well-healed Iranian toes and band together a little more pro-actively to support one another in their valiant efforts to rescue our own culture and image then what right do we have to get mad when others don't respect it?

IF every Iranian who will sign this petition, had donated $20 to Cyrus Kar's movie about Cyrus the Great SpentaProductions.com ,the darn thing would have been made by now, and we'd have a heck of an easier time convincing the rank and file that yes, there are two sides to every story. The contemporary politics embedded in the movie "300" is not a coincidence.
