Description
Guests: Anonymous member of 1500Tasvir and Pardis Mahdavi, author of “Passionate Uprisings: Iran’s Sexual Revolution” A protest that erupted in the wake of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini’s death allegedly at the hands of Iran’s so-called morality police is now spreading like wildfire across the country and creating a serious challenge for the Islamist government. It’s being called one of the largest and most inclusive resistance movements in the country as people revolt against an oppressive regime, growing inflation, and a total lack of social and political freedom. The protesting continues as state forces intensify a crackdown against protesters, scores are dead and the internet almost totally blacked out. We deep dive into a movement that is being led by the women of a new generation with the rallying slogan “Women, life, freedom.” This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green and Paulo Marques.
