The film documents the plight of American tourists Tobb Dell'Oro and his Jewish fiancée, Adele Freedman, after they are buried under the quake's rubble. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which grief-stricken Iranians make efforts to treat the couple's injuries and comfort Adele afterwards.[1] The film's format combines footage of the earthquake with interviews of survivors and people who coordinated humanitarian efforts.[2][3]

Release

Bam 6.6 premiered at the United Nations Association Film Festival in October 2007, nearly four years after the earthquake struck.[4] An updated release includes supplemental footage and additional interviews with witnesses, victims, and aid workers.[3]
