Fragments Of A Revolution 2011

Iran, June 12, 2009. Denouncing "massive fraud" in the presidential elections, hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets to express their discontent. At a time when local journalists were muzzled and foreign journalists expelled, the ensuing violent confrontations were visible to the entire world filmed by anonymous demonstrators. For a full year, Iranians living abroad followed the "green revolution" via Internet. Using anonymous amateur footage, images produced by the government, reflections and sentiments exchanged by email and official speeches, they tried to put together from a distance their own account of events. This film is one of these accounts.
