THE GREEN WAVE Trailer (ENGLISH) from Jan Krueger on Vimeo.
In this powerful and urgent documentary, filmmaker Ali Samadi Ahadi integrates animation with live-action footage, testimonials, and posts from courageous Iranian bloggers, who dared to tell the world about the uprising in Iran and its devastating consequences.
The film takes reference from blog entries to develop and animate the story of two fictional students. This is contrasted with more traditional documentary story elements, including real video images of the revolt and interviews with human rights activists.
The Green Wave opens the 8th annual Toronto Human Rights Watch Film Festival on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 8 PM. Tickets to the Opening Reception, hosted by the Human Rights Watch Canada Committee, can be purchased by calling the Human Rights Watch office at 416-322-8448.
