Iran is not the problem 4/9 (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.

They have been a peaceful and very religous country only defending its own soverignty when it had to. You obviously know very little about Irans history.

The only countries in the last 100 years wiping anyone of the map have been European or American. They have started countless wars, killed millions of people, meddled in other countries affairs, and used state sponsored terrorism to further globalists agendas and create fear. Further more.....

This part of the documentary contains many falsehoods about Iran .. it's somewhat on the lines of Fox and CNN

the international welfare isn't what is advertised. There are strings attached. Even Israel has strings attached. Having to guarantee they will buy x amount of mil hardware from the dreaded mil/fake terror complex. Neocons are really Neolibs= communists. It is actually khazars. Ashkenazi Jews. In other words, atheist Jews.

@colombiano4420 Not all Americans want this for the world do not make enemies of all of us because in the end we will be fighting on the same side to end these unjust ways.
