Acclaimed French filmmaker Manon Loizeau gives a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the people and events involved in the protest movement that swept Iran eight years ago.
Filmed on the streets of Tehran, the documentary charts the growing tensions in the build-up to the presidential elections of June 12, 2009, the rallies and marches that followed the controversial official announcement of the result and the government's subsequent aggressive clampdown on dissidents and protesters.
Loizeau followed a group of young Iranians throughout this extraordinary period and captures why they were so angry and willing to risk everything to bring change and political reform to their country.
