The Jews of Iran

A interesting Australian documentary. Despite my self, I fund it surprising.

It may well be a good idea to stick the the topic of religious tolerance (or lack of it) in Iran,
rather than covering the broader issues that we have all discussed to death.

Interesting video. You might find this ironic, but Iran isn't actually as bad as the press makes it sound. In fact, the highest rated show in the country (also the highest watched by citizens) is on a Jewish man who helps other fellow Jews and attempts to strike back at the Nazis. Never have watched it, but I've seen photos of it. Odd to see a bunch of Iranians playing Germans!:rotfl:

The Iranian WW2 mini-series was called 'Zero-degree turn'. We'll always have Paris....or is it Tehran?

Little more info on the show. It's actually pretty good. I'd watch it again, and I'm a person who typically doesn't care for soap operas. Thanks for that photo, Torp.

I was in between apartments last summer, living on the floor of a friend of a friend. He was a Jewish Iranian, raised in Germany, also one of the worlds foremost experts in suicide bombing. He was a research fellow in Harvard, really interesting guy.

Did you manage to sleep, or did you always keep one eye open ?
