Safe Haven features stories about Iranians and Toronto's real estate market. In certain neighbourhoods, Toronto is affectionately known as Tehranto. It's home to one of the largest Iranian ex-pat communities in the world -- second only to Los Angeles. And Iranians pour millions of dollars into Toronto's real estate. But this series is not just about Iranians and real estate, or the way in which Iranians are changing Toronto. It also looks at how Iranians here continue to have an impact on the country they left behind, as they support the struggle for democracy in Iran. That culture and political history underlies the deeper meaning of why for some Iranians, Toronto is indeed a safe haven.
