I was living in Tehran at the time this clip was made, and it matches my memories completely. Great clip!!!

@69ali Unfortunately, it was us who let them ruin it. We never thought what would happen after throwing one out and bringing another in. We were dreaming of forming a democratic system like France, Germany or England. But dreams went to ashes because we under-estimated too many things.

Wish Ayatollah Khemeini's Dirty Spirit watch this video and see what he has done to my country.

I'm really curious what is up with that almost OCD turning?? It seems like the entire run is nothing but turn turn turn. I was 5 years old when this movie came out so I'm fascinated by the radical change in style that I see today from back then. Anyone have ideas on how we evolved from this to where we are today?
