For Neda

This documentary on HBO illustrates what happened to Neda Agha-Soltan as well as the Iranian election in 2009. After viewing this, I found many themes that we have covered in this class. An article from CNN.com by Mitra Mobasherat describes the film as " the personal story of the woman who unwittingly became the symbol of the post-election reform movement in Iran when her death was captured on a cell phone video and shown around the world." The CNN article also reports that the Iranian government tried to interrupt either electricity or satellite signal when the documentary was shown last week.
