Ata Servati
A noted Poet. A Playwright, Novelist, actor, Filmmaker and a actvist, Ata Servati is a spiritual man following the path of those philosophers he holds dear, such legends as Rumi, Omar Khayyam and Hafez. He is a man who began to receives premonitions in the age of 4 and then in his dreams and relates it to his spirituality.
Ata has struggled to resist this spiritual calling for years and sought to live a normal life. But only recently, after losing everything he had gained in life and he found himself living out of his car, did he finally remember his youthful hopes and dreams. The Ata Servati Children's Foundation, after years of waiting, had finally found its time.
Ata moved to the United States just before the height of a National Rebellion in his homeland of Iran.
