“A Death in Tehran” premieres Tuesday, November 17 at 9pm
At the height of the protests following Iran’s controversial presidential election this summer, a young woman named Neda Agha Soltan was shot and killed on the streets of Tehran. Her death — filmed on a cameraphone, then uploaded to the web — quickly became an international outrage, and Agha Soltan became the face of a powerful movement that threatened the hard-line government’s hold on power. With the help of a unique network of correspondents in and out of the country, FRONTLINE investigates the life and death of the woman whose image remains a potent symbol for those who want to keep the reform movement alive. The film also explores a number of unanswered questions in the aftermath of the greatest upheaval in Iran since the 1979 revolution: How many were arrested and killed as the security forces attempted to contain the growing protest movement? To what extent was the presidential vote manipulated? What is the future of the movement that seems to have been silenced?

Responses to "FRONTLINE: Preview of “A Death in Tehran”"
Ifeel shame at the president of my country- Brasil – LULA – who considers himself as a superior politician – a ¨pragmatic one ¨ , who flirts with the fool presidente Chavez, the assassin Fidel and the mad Armanidejad . As a matter of fact , things couldn´t be different : half educated , badly disguised socialist , eager for internal and , now, international fame , LULA thinks that every mean is justified to reach what he considers to be a valid goal. Few years ago , running for presidency – I can´t forget it- He declared that He would accept support from anyone : ¨ Even if Devil decides to support my campaign , I will not refuse it ! ¨
And this man is the representative of my nation !
