Description

AFFECTING AND PROVOCATIVE LOOK INSIDE IRANIAN POLITICS! During the 2009 Iranian elections, the world caught a glimpse of opposition to the government as the Green Revolution filled the streets of Tehran. Cell phone videos, Twitter, Facebook, animated blog posts and interviews with both prominent human rights advocates and exiled Iranians create a record of the brutal attacks by the Iranian government militia attempting to squelch protests after the suspicious victory of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The result is a stirring plea, an appeal for awareness and action, and a touching chronicle of the Green revolution in Iran. It is a memorial for all of those who believed in freedom and lost their lives for it.
