  • Americans please read this: I am from Iran. In Persian language, "marg bar Amrica" means "down with America" and not "death to America". the word "marg" alone means "death" but when placed in that phrase, it no longer means "death". for example you guys say "look what the cat dragged in" but you don't actually mean the cat dragged in something, do you?

  • Great work...Thank you...If only the world can accept peace, and we could all be able to travel freely to explore these beautiful countries. The United States is NOT as free as we would believe, the difference is, here, you do not know when the government is spying on you..

  • @armiat "hiking American"? Are you really that naive? was Yellowstone closed that weekend and they just suddenly decided to go and hike at the borderline of Iran and Iraq?!

    they better be more careful next time!

  • Yeah Islamic Republic arrests a hiking american in the mountains as an "spy" and you as an american director came to shoot a legal "documentary"? There's no such a thing as a legal documentary in Iran, as long as it's legal it's not a documentary. Sorry for the fools who believe such fraud.

  • Awesome!!! many thanks.

  • This reminds me of what the USA was like when it was primarily a White Christian nation. Though founded on religious freedom, the culture was solidly Christian. Also, the white people at the time was part of a White People movement. Non-whites and non-Christians could be brought in for labor purposes, but they were supposed to be kept seperate. Like today's Iran, it did have its pro's and con's. Certainly some love/loved it.

    Personally, i find early USA and today's Iran to be too constricting.

  • I wish Americans were as concerned about their poor people as the Iranians are. If we'd stop fighting all these insane bogus wars for Israel, there would not be so many poor people in America.

  • I, for one, am going to do my best to get it to as many as I possibly can.

  • Great video, finally the truth besides the propaganda from the us govt.

  • I wonder how many Americans will come across this video.

  • awesome.

    Thank you Rick :)

  • @RanderMinn but Ahmadinejad is there because US made them extreme by starting a CIA COUP in 1953.
