Viva Iran

"The Green Movement belongs to the youth," says Mohsen Makhmalbaf, an exiled filmmaker who claims to speak for the opposition. "When the revolution took place, Iran's population was 30 million; now it's 70 million and most are young. They want freedom. They want to fall in love. They want the opposition. They want a normal life. " Anti-regime activities are often not coordinated; many initiatives emerge from small groups or individuals — "ordinary people who invite others to go to the streets, little people with charisma, like artists or writers who invite people to go to the streets," Makhmalbaf says.



The youth is getting tired of oppression in Iran. The population in Iran has gone up from thirty million to seventy million and the youth control and lead this revolution within the state. Its terrible that Iran has to go through such internal turmoil but I really admire revolutions. Not the fighting or the bloodshed but how people join together over one purpose and how they over come. Iran is no way near from breaking free from its religious and political restraints that’s has left it paralyzed into joining the modern world on cultural changes. I believe that with support from outside countries and the slow change in politics in Iran plus the international watch on them , that they will be forced by mounting pressure to change their ways.
