Synopsis:
Iran (Is Not The Problem) is a feature length documentary 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, Larry Everest, and other
activists and Iranian-Americans. 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.
