  • 70,000,000 wow, never knew.

  • can anyone name the song in the end ?

  • well made and informative..

  • didn't the americans take down the democratic government of iran and installed the shah over them in 1953 ?

  • we don't want a monarchy. we don't want an islamic republic. we just want democracy...unfortunately in iran, this is too much to ask.

  • can some one please tell me the last song in back ground.........

  • Enshallah, more people will see that. Allahu Akbar va Azadi bar Iran!

  • The Queen of the UK

    and The Queens representative the General (is Govener)

    sits atop

    Our Canadian Goverment / A DEFACTO Corporation . (except in Quebec)

    This is Probably the future plan for IRAN under The New World Order.

    Iraq - Afaghanistan etc... also examples to note

  • When I go to Iran, I have to change my name...cuz it has shah...

    =/

  • after effects, i love typography, (If i study in VFS) i would study design program, but i always try to go far away as i can, so i want to make 3D and visual effects program, i think i'm full.

  • Very Well Done. Although I would dispute the 1979 being an Islamic Revolution, it might have ended up as that, however throughout there were many factions acting toward toppling the Shah. Islamic Regime came into power through having the monopoly of violence in the end.

  • Excellent. Very well conceived and presented. A ton of relevant information offered in a coherent, meaningful way that keeps your interest from beginning to end.

  • Excellent ! Thx a lot .Rgds

  • Excellent video. Very professional and powerful. My congratulations go out to the makers. Keep up the great work!

  • Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!

  • While I appreciate the gravity of the situation in Iran, and admire the students who created this video for their originality, I must know - WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SONG??? Anybody?

  • this video made me feel so sad for iran.

  • Amazingly done! I am bowing my head to you!

  • amazing video guys. big up

  • One correction: About 70% of Iran's population is under the age of 30.

  • Instructive video clip, but one can easily make a full-length documentary on this subject.

    May the "Sea of Green" achieve victory!

  • Really nice !

  • We are NOT NOT NOT ARABS. We are all Persians . We worshiped GOD before Islam came to Persia . We have had always kings and we will have one soon. Persian GOD will save us. GOD save THE NEW KING . Hail Darius We will come back and conquer Persia and a new KING will rise once more . GOD save THE NEW KING . Hail Darius GOD BLESS U CYRUS WAKE UP AND WHAT THESE mullahs are doing to the country Islam is for Arabs and the rest ho want too be Muslim not Persians
  • The more I learn about Iran the more I appreciate the American Revolution. The second American Revolution is coming. Thank you Iran.

  • Lolwut. . .

  • Never give up the fight for freedom. Please don't judge the American people by the current adminstration.

  • so good!

  • for whom this video?

  • The video was made at Vancouver Film School by 4 students. They individually uploaded it to Vimeo. We also uploaded it to our own Vimeo channel as well as here on YouTube.

    The video was only completed in late 2008, so rest assured that it was not posted anywhere 2 years ago.

  • @VancouverFilmSchool what was the program the graduates attended for making this? THX!

  • @NickRiviera10 This project was created through the Digital Design program at VFS.

  • @iBotPeaches

    Silly noob.

  • @iBotPeaches lol faggot noob

  • Wow, this mini-movie made me tingly, and makes me grateful at the same time.

  • Do not let the governments tell us that we should hate eachother. We know that's a lie!

  • If the US can be created upon secession, so can Iran. Sorry for Obama running away like an asshole, Worst president already (within 6 months). Speak out, like how the United States did... I wish you had the resources the 13 Colonies had... but you dont... which means someone else must take a leap to protect freedom.

  • you dont think american has enough problems?

    i think we all need to work on our backyard before we go to our neighbour's house..

    im not american and i do believe we all need to try and solve our own problems before we point the finger at others..

  • Hang in there... we are with you.. god bless

  • This President is the most disgraceful man to grace teh whitehouse since CLinton.

    Obama: pro killing of babies

    Obama:Pro gay life which is against God

    Obama: Pro iranian

    Obama: Anti Israel

    Obama: anti capitalist

    Obama: Statist/socialist

    Obama: Making us vulnerable to North Korea

    GOd help us and deliver us! Turn your hearts to Jesus and ask for the hand of God to intervene and guide us.

  • wait hold on. are you absolutly serious? FIRST OFF: no hes not pro killing babies, abortion does not kill babies or a human being. its a fetus and when 90% of all abortions are made is before the fetus can feel anything or have any traits that make us human. Pro gay life? Gays are as much human as anyone else and have the same right to love and happiness as us straight people. Whats wrong with pro iranian? anti capitalist and socialist, hes not but theres nothing wrong in being that still.

  • Don't want to be rude, but you already have the Pope, and as not all people believe in imaginary guy sitting in the middle of the clouds, leave religion away from politics!

    The fact that you are racist and mentally stuck in the middle ages, doesn't mean that that should affect the rest of us.

  • haha, do you seriously think Jesus is capitalist!?? and he would have something against being called north korean, they are also human beings and so are gays (I am not gay fyi)

  • Look when this video was made dumbass.

  • this video was made when bush WAS our leader.

  • Freedom will prevail at some point and the blood from the evil will be washed from the hands of the free!

  • HEY EVERYONE set your twitter account to Tehran. This will make it harder for the Iranian secret service to track people down in Tehran. Help the people of Iran attain freedom. Thank You.

  • hey tht almost looks like persepolis

  • crap

  • 666 is written a long time before - evil happens. May GOD save our selves from our destiny that GOD gave us in those horrible books for idiots. Warfare that GOD and you will survive.

  • god dosnt exist

  • why do you say that.

  • there is no logical proof of him.

  • proof me he doesn't? Or proof me he is? You can't! So how come You say one or the other way? I am not a hard believer of that either, but i don't trash othe religions, cause i do respect their believes. If they wanna thing there is some1 watching them and praying to them, let them go! World would be a better place to live if it had less of once of your kind...

  • the burdern of proof lies on the claim(god exists), not on the counter claim(god dosent exist).

    Its like if I sead I am a alien from outer space, could you disprove it?

  • propaganda.

  • Nice Apple commercial. As for Iran, I think the only thing that can help them is secularisation.

  • great job

  • awesum

  • Great informative video and very cool BGM. What is the BGM so I may go and get it?

  • Moussavi is no better than Ahmedinjad. He is not reform, he would be just another cog in a religious dictatorial regime.

  • go Iran go

  • Wow idiiot bad looser who can't accept he lost,

  • what do you want from iran??????YOU MUST FREE IRAN,did you understand,look at your country and then talk about iran

  • yep...it's still hopeless.

  • as long as there are people who believe..

    there is still hope...

  • Theocracy is the problem. Haha. The attack ont he Iraqis was pushed by zionist extremist jews and christians. Bush the lunatic himself said his attack on Iraq was given by god!! haha. funy how America thinks it hates who israeli regime happnes ot hate? Been to AIPAC lately? haha When was the last time Iran attacked a country?....Over 200 years ago!!!! Who exactly is the danger here??

  • Did this mention the overthrow of the democratically elected mossadeq by the cia? Did it mention the Mullahs are simply the supreme court of Iran? the supreme court of the US arbitrarily decided who wouldbe awarded the Bush election. Did it mention an AMERICAN pre polling showed the current president did indeed lead 2 to 1? Did it explain that jews control most major news networks in the west? See my profile vids for what youre not being told

  • The "problem" is so many targets, so little time. They not only view humanity as an obstacle to the next plain, but in conflict with itself, as it's constant state of reproduction has yet to be limited for those who find "self" as the core of existence.

    The perpetuation of the "elite" denying that there are other "elites" that subscribe to their own Status. A world bent on ending itself, as it where.

  • bloggers and free speech ftw

  • long live Bloggers

  • SO.. STATING Truth YET NOT CONDEMNING OBAMA FOR NOT STANDING UP FOR THESE MEN AND WOMEN..???

  • A Revolution within the Revolution....so true

  • The problem is that they are wild bastard fuckup animals those Arab leaders.

    All religion are wrong and all leaders are wrong.

    Labor party FTW.

  • Iranisna re not even Arabs. They are European in origin who migrated toward Indian then onward. You dumbass.

  • the problem is geography and ppl striving to survive within in those geographys and making their own cultures.

  • Islam is the problem. No religion, and the whole world can be one large Scandinavia.

  • Judaism and jewish/atheist communism are the problem

  • IS it just me, or is the way this is being shown, just like the little videos before Call of duty 4?

  • dope!!!

  • Really great video!

  • Very well done. Keep up the good work. Many thanks for sharing.

  • wow, this video is so relevant in these times, congrats!

  • Great vid, well done!

  • I wish your prey will answer!

    Yair from Israel..

  • Amazing. ('ー'd)

  • GOOD video well done

  • nice soundtrack , anyone knows the title by any chance ?:)

  • Did this video mimic the style of one chapter in Animatrix? Nice though.

  • Great done. One of my most fav videos.

  • Nice idea, and a nice fact too. :)

  • hey,

    It is cool!

    the look is very urban.

    you have used the song " Kyon Zindagi Ki Raah Mein" from old Indian film called Saath Saath .

    I liked the remixed version in ur credits roll out. can u provide me the full remixed song?

  • same here please =)

  • I am in the search of same song.....

    If you had found reply to me please.......

  • that is very goody. The technique, the text, the idia! Superb!

    P.S. Please, write me the name of the song!

  • you make it seem this represent the super majority of the Iranian population. But I am afraid the reality begs to differ.

  • I assure you that the majority of Iranians neither want Arabic Islam shir nor this regime.

  • of course .. with the islamic revolution being a very good example to support your "claim" ^_^ .. tashakur ..

  • Open your eyes and you will see a plenty of various tyrannical countries where the people of it are suffering.

    Islamic Republic would never get the chance to rule over IRAN under democratic circumstances.

  • @semo2010

    I gave u a thumb up for ur above comment. I let it be there for a while, but u could do much better on this one. 100000 executed in between1980-1981 and hundereds more every year since then...yes it is very clear : majority of Iranian hate this regime.

  • fair enough ... but you can't seriously claim that its bad because its islamic, you can say its actually lacking the "proper' islamic element, which - to be honest- wasn't implemented properly for centuries... maybe last good example was in Al Andalus... a secular system would be just as bad, trust me, its to do with corruption first and foremost.

  • you can say that....Islam is the problem....there is no "Proper islamic elements for ruling "...Islam is the problem

  • Islam can be 'watered down' enough to be compatible with modernity. It has happened with christianity, it can be done again. Best of luck to the iranian people.

  • Islam isn't the problem, theocracy is the problem.

  • mind opening

  • very cool

  • iran = U.S.S.R

  • yes, but only the goverment

  • thanks

  • awesome

  • very interesting, great work

  • nice video!

    videos about different cultures r very necessary...

  • mmm, twitch

  • The cartoon style and topic are exactly the same with "Persepolis" the movie

  • Bravo!

  • nice work guys, very nice indeed

  • guys

    i am an Iranian and I'm 22 ... that was really great ... that was the truth ... thanks vancouver students ... and goddamn this regime and their nonsense beliefs.

    btw we don't vote for them ... we r the victims of our father's stupid votes.

  • chido, chido!!

  • nice

  • Wikked job guys and gurls! :)

  • no sorrow from me, you get what you vote for you.

  • 3 cheers for the bloggers

  • I'm not sure about the stats, but the screenplay is damn good!

  • where are these statistics from? my spider sense tells me i should be skeptical

  • where did u get the stat for 100,000 maintained blogs?

  • reminds me of Persepolis...

  • very nice

  • The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world.

    Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

  • lol :D

  • this is so cool, I never knew this

  • yuuup, the islamic regime wont live that long in iran to celebrate there 31 year, 6 months to one year all you will hear in the news revolution in iran, all the mullahs got killed by the iranian people and finaly arabs got kicked out of iran and iran will be Persia again with a new regime.

  • "yuuup, the islamic regime wont live that long in iran to celebrate there 31 year"

    that's funny, i remembered american experts and analysts say after the revolution that iran government won't last five years, aferwards i heard some people say that iran won't last to celebrate 25 years, and after this i suppose iran won't be able to last 32 years?

  • "all the mullahs got killed by the iranian people and finaly arabs got kicked out of iran..."

    people in iran respect the mullahs more than they respect you anti-religion communist atheist bastards, at least they are pious and truthful unlike you shah-loving assholes.

  • kicking arabs out of iran meaning ethnically cleansing khuzestan the 90% arab region, as well as southern iran coast (near persian gulf) because they are also full of arabs - this would mean iran becomes a stalin-style russia where there are concentration/labour camps for arabs and ethnic cleansing like in iraq, this would be condemned by international community for the gross human rights violations.

  • "...and iran will be Persia again with a new regime."

    making iran persia again would mean kicking out 40% of the population that are non-persian which would be similar to nazi germany which kicked out or killed non-aryans like jews because of aryan supremacism (ideology of hitler's nazi party). the international community would condemn iran for its human rights violations for ethnically cleansing iran and ridding 40% of its non-aryan population, based on aryan/persin supremcist neo-nazi beliefs

  • "...and iran will be Persia again with a new regime."

    iran can never be persia again...1/3 of its population is azeri or turk etc. and 7% are kurd - thats a contradiction right there within your new "persia with a new regime"...while during cyrus's time - persia was 80-90% persian

  • what's next? you will kick out kurds from iranian mountains in west? all 4-7 million? and kick out all azeris out of north-western iran? all 24 million? kick out all baluchis from southwestern iran? all 2 million? based on the pretext that they aren't persian like you?

    ...oh i can predict you as being the next iranian saddam (same arab supremacist guy who "kicked out" kurds based on pretext that they weren't "arabs" or "iraqis" but iranians)

  • wowowowow come down, i never said we will kick anyone out for no reason.

  • "...and finaly arabs got kicked out of iran..."

    what did you just say right there? wasn't that a statement for kicking someone out for no reason (except for ethnicity)? so i guess you are a persian supremacist like the shah who enforced persian language/culture upon the entire population including upon azeris and kurds and arabs.

  • arabs allready have a country, not even one but five of them, so why should they be in iran if they hate the iranians and iran?

  • if they hate iranians and iran why did they fight against the arab-supremacitst iraqi dictator saddam, who wanted to invade and liberate them from iran during iran-iraq war - weren't they nationalistic enough to stay with iran and not separate with iraq?

  • why kick out arabs ? Should arabs kick the Persians in arab lands then ?

  • yes they will.

  • Wow, people sure do love to complain! They have a goal: communicate about blogger movement in Iran as reaction to cultural oppression - in this they succeed.

    It's not attempting to be a full length feature, a complete historical account and making comparisons to Persepolis is obvious and was probably a purposeful expression/influence.

  • Relax kids. This is just a video, not a place to stand on your soap box. Take it to the blogs, please.

  • Wow, add for Apple much?

  • cool stuff! 5 stars.

  • Heavy on style, light on content or analysis. Typical designer fare.

  • Agree completely.

    Also a bit of artwork is inspired heavily be "Persepolis", but this is quite obvious and acceptable, maybe.

  • what good is oppressing the people? if were not carefull america will become like iran of the west or even a gulage were other conttries send their convicts. people we must awake and use or minds.

  • Wow this video is one of the best political animation flick i've seen.

  • I uploading this to my facebook.... kudos to those creative younger generations who created this!

  • good job.

    ***Hancock***

  • NO. You are wrong. Its much more complicated. Islam is not the problem. Not all Muslims want Dahr al Islam (force all non believers to either convert or face death.) Christians can also be radicals. Palin called the war on iraq "a task from God" This makes us just as guity as the terrorists we persecute. In addition the way this operation was handled. (abu-grahib,mismanagement of gov. $) is unacceptabble. I might be Republican but I am ashamed of being one at the moment. We can do much better.

  • Well said, sir. Well said.

  • Fuck tyranny! Fuck Islam!

  • islam has destoryed iran, so i agree with you.

  • no acutally islam helped much i mean a lot iran. have you actually seen the change experienced the change no so dont talk i have not but i have evidence that the change was very large

  • Would you like if i said fuck atheists or fuck christanity or fuck jews. no because we arent like that.

  • Very impressive...thank you for making it. Seriously. :)

  • love the background music
