Documentary Film. How can the Iranian population stand the oppression and repression imposed by the Islamic Republic set up by the Ayatollahs after the 1979 revolution? How can a cultivated people find itself deprived of its fundamental rights, muzzled for 35 years by a totalitarian regime, to the point of being forced to accept fraudulent election results? Starting from the popular uprising and the repression which followed the farce of the 2009 presidential elections, this documentary recounts the non-violent resistance of those who do not adhere to Islamic rules.

This film explores how an Islamic regime functions. Private archives, many never seen before in the West, powerfully reveal the true face of an Islamic state. That of a religious dictatorship holding a country hostage, stifling the voices of its opponents. The regime' iron-fist style of governing, together with absence of any strong and credible opposition leader, and a society that is deeply fragmented make the realization of any meaningful change a distant dream for the people of Iran.
