Watch Online / An Iranian Martyr (2009)
Desc: An Iranian Martyr: Directed by Monica Garnsey. Neda Agha Soltan became the international symbol of protest after the disputed elections in Iran in June 2009 when her death was caught on a phone camera and uploaded onto the internet. This film pieces together the story of her death in the context of the elections and the violence that followed. Driven by the astonishing footage of the protests caught on tens of phone cameras, this is a moving story told by people who were there and whose lives have since been forever altered. An Iranian Martyr attempts to understand what happened and how and why the Iranian Government responded in the way it did - both at the time and in the months that followed.
