Iran is not the problem 6/9 (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.

UN=USA

Iranian itself are tired of an old system just like an ordinary American. People today need some changes because of a growing economy crisis. This is the time that people around the world must think and share the good solution to solve the global problems. War,hatred are slowly vanished from the face of the earth. There are still left or right wing but the ordinary people are beginning to use their common sense. Love and peace for all !!

I am one in 300 million. I do not believe the lie my government tells me.

i truly hate american governments they are nothing but satanic worshiper, that explains why they don't want peace, they want to have nuclear weapons, control other countries gov't and tell them how to act and behave the way the west want without thinking about the difference of values and beliefs and at the end of the day america doesn't even care about its own people only the few rich elite.

[MrGarthboy]

just jokin i just like to sound like im all full of myself i watched to many movies

[MrGarthboy]

peace cant be attained without war,the peace has to fight or be dominated by the warring .it should be painfully clear that there cannot be peace.the peacemongers need to gather there inteligence to diplomat (99.9% unlikley)or get rid of the elements that make peace immpossible.i wish for nothing more than universal harmony under a system thats eco-friendly advanced and cut throat system that ensures no corruption also fair and mercifull,should come naturally to the not so extremly evil people.

@shakysyxx the people here, don't trust the Goverment.soon there will be a revolution here in US.

[LocoRedKixx]

wow

[antekification]

Ahmadinejad is such a great leader, he have reached out his hands numerous of times but the US/ISrael have ignored it because they dont want peace.

[Bilderbergz]

Now i truly understand, Iran is in this situation because the Americans set them up to be in this situation. A series of culminating events which have led to the present dilema. But im not surprised they did the same thing in Chile, when the CIA overthrew Salvador Allende and installed a pro US dictator in order to hand over copper mines which Chile has the largest supply off in the world. When it comes to natural resources, they are the biggest hoarding whores.
