Letters from Iran

While winds of freedom blow through the Arab world, the Iranian youth waits. They were the first to rise up against their leaders in 2009. The first to use Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, filming the fall-out of their failed revolution on cameraphones. Now, Iran has closed itself off to the Western media, making it difficult to get an inside story from the outside. For the past two years, the director has been following survivors of the repression. Piecing together interviews, footage from hidden cameras and more, she paints a fascinating portrait of the aftermath of the Green Revolution.
