Imagine the music you love being BANNED in your country, and having to spend the bulk of your adult life trying to follow your passion-…but not be punished severely for it. This is the true story of Anoosh and Arash, known by many as DJ and production Duo Blade & Beard. A new documentary called Raving Iran follows their story from the country of the same name that essentially outlaws their dreams, following them outside those borders to show their experiences in countries that celebrate their work. The U.K. premiere of the film will have proceeds going towards the #freeartists campaign by Amnesty International, with a Q&A and live DJ set from the duo themselves.

We’ll keep you updated on the full films release for those of us in the states. For now, check out the preview below and check out Blade & Beard’s SoundCloud to get an idea of their sound
