Iran is not the Problem 1/9

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.

@jaabyourface; what did that rambling bit of nonsense mean? And where did you make the sharia law/communist link? And how would that be part of the "leftist liberal agenda?"

This video has been the most eye opening experience I've had in a while. To know that I have perpetuated this lie based on more lies is depressing. I feel I owe the Hussein family an apology, Ahmadenijad an apology, and to a certain extent...even Bin Laden. But how do you stop powerful imperialists hell bent on world domination? What's the answer? I mean I don't want to give up the liberty and material comforts I have in the US, even if it is a facade.

@shishoka

and maybe you should watch the whole thing. Your perspective will totally change, but you do not want to watch the whole video, because you are AFRAID of changing your perspective of the situation. This video is not "bullshit", this video is made by people who know what they are talking about.

@shishoka

okay when did Iran say they wanted nuclear weapons?? And Iran has a policy of not attacking unless they are attacked first anyway. Find me ONE RELIABLE source which shows a key iranian figure saying that they want a nuclear weapon??

Iran Isn`t the rpoblem, really, the govermont that suppresses its ownb citizens and p0reaches racial and religious and cultural hatred and has itw own citizens protesting fro freddom, and getting beaten and killed for it, ya right, just some bullshit liberal propaganda made by a groupg of f-cktards who want to communism, and sharia law, sorry losers, no ones buying into your leftist garbadge, except for those who are somewhat brain damaged

I stopped watching when they said we are threatening first strike with nuclear weapons. They are. Their government is openly stating their goal is to obtain nuclear weapons to use against their enemies. This video is bullshit.
