The Queen and I Poster

When Nahid Persson Sarvestani, an Iranian exile, set out to make a documentary about Farah, the wife of the shah of Iran, she expected to encounter her opposite. As a child, Nahid had lived in dire poverty, watching Farahs wedding as if it were a fairy tale. As a teenager, she joined the Communist faction of Khomeinis revolution that deposed the shah, sending him and his family volleying from country to country. When Khomeini betrayed his promise for democracy, imposing more violent measures than the shah had, Nahid was also forced to flee. Thirty years later, she needs key questions answered and goes directly to the source. Surprisingly, Queen Farah welcomes her as a fellow refugee from their beloved homeland, granting unprecedented access. Over the next year and a half, Nahid enters the queens world, planning to challenge the shahs ideology; instead, she must rethink her own.

No matter what you may think of the Shah, you cannot blame his wife for anything he did. He was in control, not she. She did not wield any power, but as any good spouse supported her husband and trusted in his decisions. No state leader is perfect, and while the Shah may have had his faults and made mistakes, he was overthrown by brutal religious fanatics, who have killed more innocent people than the Shah ever could. Queen Farah now fights for iranians rights, so she deserves respect by all.

[EspahbodSurna]

دوران طلایی ایران در زمان شاه بنظر نمیرسد هرگز تکرار شود. امروزایران سرزمین کشتار و تجاوز بدست دژخیمان و اهریمنان و ضحکان است . تا روزی دگر باره صبح دولت ایرانیان بدمد و تارک ایران زمین بلطف ایزدی به افتاب اهورمزدا روشن و فروزنده گردد.

Farah a great woman, She had suffered too much.

To have a stupid peasant interview the Queen. That in itself is a sign of how sad Iranians have become. Death to Islam and all ignorant muslims.
