Iran is Not the Problem is a feature length film responding to the failure of the American mass media to provide the public with relevant and accurate information about the standoff between the US and Iran, as happened before with the lead up to the invasion of Iraq.

 

We have heard that Iran is a nuclear menace in defiance of the international community, bent on "wiping Israel off the map," supporting terrorism, and unwilling to negotiate. This documentary disputes these claims as they are presented to us and puts them in the context of present and historical US imperialism and hypocrisy with respect to Iran.

 

Although made in 2008 this film looks at the consequences of the past moments of a potential US and/or Israeli attack, and suggests some alternatives to consider. Alternatives that are still viable today. Perhaps it was for that reason that it is an Official Selection of the 2012 Human Rights Film Festival of Barcelona.

 

This 79-minute documentary features Antonia Juhasz (The Bu$h Agenda), Larry Everest (Oil, Power, and Empire), and other activists and Iranian-Americans. The DVD also contains a 20-minute preview version ideal for meetings. The goal of this movie is to promote dialog and change the debate on Iran, so please consider organizing a screening, big or small, in your area.

 

Produced by Aaron Newman, an independent film-maker. He is an anti-imperialism/pro-democracy activist, founder of the SF Chomsky Book Club, and a member of Hands Off Iran.

 

There are differences of opinion between many of the voices in this film, but all agree that a war would be unjustified.
