Frontline - Our Man in Tehran

[UglyCasanova]

PBS has a good two part Frontline show about the NYT reporter there that’s one of the last western journalist allowed there.

Gives good insights into the nation, Frontline quality.

I like hearing about Iran from Iranians and people with direct experience with Iranians.
It's always "They are awesome people".

It makes the actions of our country "colorful" as our Politicians act to starve and disrupt their entire society with the aim of violent uprisings and general marginalization as a whole.

"We love Iranians. Thats why we want them to murder the fook out of each other."

The show wasn’t as rosy as you’re making it sound. He definitely dives down into the repression of women there, die hard extremist that quite literally want death to the infidels, the state murdering people who dare speak out, etc. he shows a lot of good that goes on there too, but it’s not all "awesome".
