The Green Wave
An authentic and dramatic report on the Iranian green revolution. The Green Wave is an animated documentary built on political statements from blogs, Facebook and Twitter. All are based on the oppressive circumstances in Iran today. Through the use of social media the Iranian people document the events that remain hidden for the rest of the world. The film guides us through modern Iranian history, with emphasis on the regime under Ahmadinejad and his second election victory in 2009. The Green Wave is a powerful document of the effects of living in a totalitarian regime, told from the perspective of young Iranians. pisj
