Iran is not the problem 7/9 (Why is the U.S. Government trying to start a war with Iran 2009)

This film is intended to counter the misinformation presented in the U.S. mass media
Sources are cited at www.iranisnottheproblem.com

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.

if the usa or israel do a stupid action against iran it will end of israel and the us in the region. iranians will target israeli nuk sites and imagine what will happen to a small country like israel.

isarel has to say good by to life.

@ezekieloak yea a few maybe talking about it in the usa.. but they have no power anyway.. and the mass is blinded by the media, owned by 4 big companies... ur mainstream media provides propaganda like in the sovjet union.. but in the sovjet union the most KNEW that it was propaganda.. the most of the american citizen dont know.. because they get held DUMB. so why the usa is still behaving like a brutal empire? if someone thinks he is free, and he is not, its much more dangerous.

[crackz123]

@PriceAllrich lol.. do u think just these people are against the USA? just look at the barbaric behavior of the usa.. who led the most wars? USA. who used the nuclear bomb? only the USA and not just one time. so whos the aggressor here...? they kill millions to get ressources and huge profits for the weapon lobby. if not they would go bankrupt... poor poor country. they get weaker and weaker and because of that they get more and more aggressive.. a struggle of a dying empire.

@havocmia

1. There's no evidence your god exists, so I don't believe in it.

2. How the hell is that land "rightfully" theirs? Remind me who's been living on that land for the past 1000 years?

[osocafe5]

@Assilounet whoa maybe your rite.

lol

[Assilounet]

Kill all jews = no war anymore on earth

[havocmia]

This sounds like an Anti- Israel film, you want a country to give up land from the small peace they have which is rightfully there own and then some. I am a Christian this is why many people in America go wrong and don't read the bible and go against our GOD Jehovah and Jesus Christ. Read righteous words that come from a righteous GOD Jehovah. Our CREATOR. Peace and GOD bless you all.

the guy with the pink shirt the way he talk is soo disgusting

[peixecoruja]

Needless to say that Brazil is NOT in any way aligned with the US and would NEVER vote favorably to any act of agression against Iran, as it didn't vote for the invasion of Iraq or for any other agression. I don't think India or any other major developing country would do so.

[PriceAllrich]

i like the guys badmouthing America have the names xxLatinKillaxx and hitler110ss LOL you guys are idiots.
