In the film “Little Zizou,” 10-year-old Liana asks her friend Xerxes if he knows where their people, known as Parsis, come from. She then tells him how the Parsis, also called Zoroastrians, fled to India from Persia 900 years ago.
“They escaped in a small boat because Persia was invaded by the Arabs,” Liana says, “And after terrible storms and much hardship, they landed here.”
“Here?” asks Xerxes, who has adopted the nickname “Little Zizou” after his hero, French soccer star Zinedine Zidane. “Here,” Liana confirms, gesturing toward the city of Mumbai.
