A video by
Germán Vogel, Santiago,
Chile
This is a video I did as a Chilean uni student
not linked to Iran by anything but my personal choice.
As a cultures lover, I became interested in Iran as a nation that develops a
uniquely organic society based on family, social cohesion, beautiful traditions
and religion. In a world in which the wealth of cultural differences has
suffered great losses, Iran offered me real new definitions and perspectives,
based upon a millenary uninterrupted history any sincere person on this planet
should envy, and consolidated by leaders who preserve Iran's independence not
just from world powers, but from the absolutization of Western concepts of
freedom, evolution and progress.
As a physics student, I came to envy Iranians for having leaders who understand
the importance of the scientific development of a nation as a way to remain
genuinely independent. For someone like me, a nation that develops a nanotech,
biotech, and petrochemical industries, and now even space research and its
current development of nuclear tech, is no coincidence.
What I present in this video is what I found out for myself, from starting out
as someone who blindly believed in Iran's and Iranian leader's 'evilness', to
having redefined my views checking for myself this beautiful country.
There is a lot of talking about Iran: terrorism, Arabization, arbitrary
executions, repression, censorship, but I don't believe in it. They did it once
to overthrow Mossadeq in 1953, the CIA itself turning Iranians against the
government, and to me it is pointless to wait some more 50 years until the CIA
declassifies more files so just then people regret then about not having stopped
the demonization of Iran when it could have made a difference.
