IRAN (is not the problem) is a new feature film responding to the
failure of the American mass media to provide the public with accurate
information about the standoff between the US and Iran, as happened
before with the lead up to the invasion of Iraq.
Thursday, Sept. 4th @ 6:30 PM
MLK Labor Center/1199,
310 West 43rd Street
(between 8th and 9th)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 and puts them in the context of present and historical US imperialism and hypocrisy with respect to Iran.
It looks at the struggle for a more just society 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.
