This film is intended to counter the misinformation presented in the U.S. mass media

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.

  • I agree with you. This war on terrorism is a hoax and an excuse for imperialistc America to have the excuse to expand into the Middle East for oil. I am sick of hearing about fighting terrorism when the CIA is the most powerful terrorist agency in the world. The CIA is responsible for most wars in the third world countries. I say America get out of Afghanistan and Iraq. America is run by neo cons and corporations who care not about world peace but domination and control.

  • And let us not talk about Iran being a state sponsoring terrorism when we have America being herself a terrorist state sending her CIA to cause most wars in the third world countries. The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan was a terrorist act. The years of sanctions by America against Iran was a teroririst act. The threat to attack Iran is a terrorist threat. Iran wants closer ties with America but as a recognised state not subservient to American corporate control. No wonder Iranians are angry.

    i will apriciate if u sendt the link to me.

  • @desiman1

    With a little searching I found this* a website I can send you if you want, which should help clear things up for you. A FEW key points:

    1. Germany's Goebbels and Hans Frank's diaries show that they knew approximately how many Jews they were going to kill (3-6 million)

    2. We have HUNDREDS and hundreds of eyewitness testimonials of 150+ of people being killed a day and that is a CONSERVATIVE esitmate in a SINGLE camp. Even 150/day for 4 years= 219k dead, and that is only one camp

  • @Bookstop1337 tnx for a seriouse response, but Mr i can assure u that there are NOOOOO lists of the name of 6 million who died.pls let me know if u know of some, i have cheked alotsof places, but for no response.

    many of the jews went to palsetine also during ww2.RED CROSS figures are of 270000 jews. many names are also just made upp. but pls let me know where the list of name is so i can check it as good as possible.
