  1. Negative reporting by France 24. Let's analyze what this report says: 1- he made the movie in Iran, 2- he got private funding like every movies in Hollywood, 3- his movie was widely shown, 4- he picked up an award in France, 5- Returned home to a welcoming crowd. Am I missing anything, just by listing to this Iran-hate report?

  2. Where is the oppression? In Iran or in the West where pro-Palestine movements are being suppressed in the name of antisemitism? By the way, did the documentary on Assange get any award?! No? I wonder why!!

  3. It's definitely political but the west loves to make things more directly political than they actually are. Prison abuse can happen anywhere. Is there systemic problems in Iran? Yes. Is there systemic problems in the US for example as well ? Also yes.

    You'll say they can't be compared. As a person having experienced both I say they are a smitten image of one another.
