He is anything but, for when serving as Iran’s prime minister in the eighties, he is believed to have been responsible for orchestrating the attacks on the U.S. The irony of such slanted media coverage is that it has portrayed the defeated Mir-Hossein Mousavi as something of an American hero. Ahmadinejad would have won regardless, and by a substantial degree-perhaps not surprising given that he is a sitting president perceived by many Iranians as someone standing up to the country’s archenemy, the United States, whose armed forces sandwich Iran between Iraq in the west and Afghanistan in the east. Indications of vote tampering exist, but it seems their scale would have been insufficient to swing the final outcome. During his first election in 2005, Ahmadinejad received just over 60 percent of the vote, and the above polling organizations predicted roughly the same figure in the 2009 elections, which appears to be what he received.

The only reliable independent polls conducted before the vote by a Western polling organization-carried out by the nonprofit Center for Public Opinion and the New America Foundation whose work with ABC News and the BBC earned them an Emmy Award-predicted a substantial victory of two to one for Ahmadinejad. That storm erupted for the world to see in 2009 when thousands of predominantly young Iranians took to the streets of Tehran, Tabriz, Esfahan, and elsewhere, to protest the reelection of incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, amid allegations of vote fraud from rival candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi.ĭespite the Western press giving the impression that the election was unquestionably rigged and that Mir-Hossein Mousavi and his supporters were robbed of victory by Ahmadinejad, the evidence available thus far does not back this up. This is a hilarious, charming, and astonishing account of one Westerner’s life-altering rambles across Iran that will leave you wondering what else you don’t know about Iran and its people.įrom Iran’s scorching deserts to its lush forested mountains, from sprawling chaotic cities to ancient historical sites, I witnessed a subtle yet perceptible breeze of discontent stirring through the country, a breeze that foretold an approaching storm. Maslin finds himself suddenly plunged into a subversive, contradictory world of Iranian subculture, where he is embraced by locals who are more than happy to show him the true Iran as they see it-the one where unmarried men and women mingle in Western clothes at secret parties, where alcohol (the possession of which is punishable by hand-amputation) is readily available on the black market, where Christian churches are national heritage sites, and where he discovers the real meaning of friendship, nationality, and hospitality. Then, unexpectedly stranded in a country he’s only read about in newspapers, he decides to make the best of it-but wonders whether he’ll make it out alive. When Jamie Maslin decides to backpack the entire length of the Silk Road, he decides to travel first and plan later. That is largely the Iranian government, however, not the Iranian people. For decades, it has been “the enemy,” its government taunting us and attacking our Western, secular lifestyle. Iran looms large in the psyche of modern America. The post is from 2010 but I'm assuming it would still work pretty much the same - neither VLC nor Airflick have changed much AFAIK.Genre: nonfiction Iranian Rappers and Persian Porn Jamie MaslinĪ backpacker’s charming, hilarious account of the secret world of counterculture Iran.

If you know you want to watch a movie and are willing to wait for the conversion to occur, this is a good idea.

People use Handbrake to convert video files to the best format for the Apple TV, then inport that into iTunes.
