IRAN (is not the problem) is a feature length film responding to the failure of the American mass media to provide the public with relevant and accurate information about the standoff between the US and Iran, as happened before with the lead up to the invasion of Iraq.
We have heard that Iran is a nuclear menace in defiance of the international community, bent on "wiping Israel off the map", supporting terrorism, and unwilling to negotiate. This documentary disputes these claims as they are presented to us and puts them in the context of present and historical US imperialism and hypocrisy with respect to Iran.
It looks at the struggle for democracy inside Iran, the consequences of the current escalation and the potential US and/or Israeli attack, and suggests some alternatives to consider.
This 79 minute documentary features Antonia Juhasz (The Bu$h Agenda), Larry Everest (Oil, Power, and Empire), and other activists and Iranian-Americans. The DVD also contains a 20 minute preview version ideal for meetings. The goal of this movie is to promote dialog and change the debate on Iran, so please consider organizing a screening, big or small, in your area.
Produced by Aaron Newman, an independent film-maker and part of the Scary Cow film co-op in San Francisco. He is an anti-imperialism/pro-democracy activist, founder of the SF Chomsky Book Club, and a member of Hands Off Iran
There are differences of opinion between many of the voices in this film, but all agree that a war would be unjustified. Below are brief video introductions for each of the people who participated.
Excellent video. Thanks for uploading this.
Oh there will be a war. It's ramifications won't be all that terrible though, as it will be essential to the structuring a better world. What will result from this war will shape the world perfectly to operate in a more productive, helpful way. The one world goverment will be fair and advance our civilization to great heights. This NEEDS to happen.
This video has been up almost 4 months so far, and it has less than 2000 views. This is lack of public interest is the reason Cheney and Rumsfeld got into Iraq in the first place. Perhaps you should have used better keywords, like Paris Hilton, or 50 cent. That seems to be where our minds are. Sad state of affairs.
the world u want isnt ever goin to be
i dont want innocent people to die but the usa need to take controll of that oil and gas in iran so we can keep our super power status
@sisambrose Well, some people other than bolshevik "progressives" who are also against war with Iran (such as "isolationist" conservatives, like myself) would give this documentary much better balance, relevance, and reach.
Instead, it looks like a bunch of hippies and reds screeching about Bush.
@Bilderbergz lol
