Babaee’s faith to impress roomie in ‘Passion to Fly’

Tonight’s episode of iFilm's series ‘Passion to Fly’ is to manifest how Martyr Babaee never failed to practice his faith.

Captain Babaee’s devotion to his faith made his American roommate file a complaint against him putting his career in danger.

When the late national hero was called to the colonel’s office for some explanations, the time for midday prayers comes and he starts to say prayers right there. The spiritual scene leaves a huge impact on the colonel convincing him that Captain Babaee deserves to graduate with honors.
