Less than a month to go before Ahmadi Protest!

I am editing like a green flag waving with might to finish doc before the 64th UN General Assembly. Still proceeding with caution to deliver context and content without negatively impacting the community of Iranians that I filmed for three weeks both before and after the Iranian election in June 2009. Being the only foreign documentary filmmaker who was able to film throughout these weeks was both the biggest treat for democracy as well as perhaps the only unflinching document of what occurred.

We have seen the countless videos filmed from the streets and rooftops documenting the unspeakable violence inflicted on Iranians peacefully rallying against a system that ignored their voices. When the footage emerges from the rapes and deaths that the regime intentionally inflicted on detained people, will the UN demand accountability.

Let me know what your thoughts are on the clips so that I can proceed.

Yours,

Jahan Azadi
