must-see documentary (Neda's story)

mellowgerman · #1 06-12-2010, 08:19 AM

Hello fellow TBers. If you find yourself having a spare hour this weekend, I highly recommend watching this documentary. It is about Neda Agha-Soltan, the young woman murdered during Iran's post-election crackdown. The video of her death has been seen around the world by millions, but few know the truly touching full story of this admirable young woman.
Right now there are only about 80,000 views on this video and I'm doing my best to help spread it around the net. There's absolutely no reason this documentary shouldn't have the millions of views that some of the stupid, viral videos out there get. So please check it out if you can! It's a fascinating and very informative story that deserves an infinite audience.

I just watched this. I didn't realise how bad things are over there. Quite shocking.

Wow, heavy stuff, thanks for sharing it. Its good to know that the people aren't letting this go, hopefully the outcome of all of this will be very positive not just in the short term but long run as well

I was going to watch this tomorrow but while on MSN with my sister she showed me the (graphic) video of Neda's death: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mZlSkAuHnY

And I knew it was a sign that I should watch it immediately.

I know, the first time I watched it my whole body felt wrong. It hits close to home, being so real and personal. Watching it after 8 times it still has the same effect.

It's definitely some tough material to take in, but I think it's important for people to see and for them to be aware of what's going on in the world beyond US borders.
