The Green Wave
The Green Wave is a touching documentary-collage illustrating the dramatic events and telling about the feelings of the people behind this revolution.
Facebook reports, Twitter messages and videos posted in the internet were included in the film composition, and hundreds of real blog entries served as reference for the experiences and thoughts of two young students, whose story is running through the film as the main thread.
The film describes their initial hope and curiosity, their desperate fear, and the courage to yet continue to fight.
These fictional 'storylines' have been animated as a motion comic - sort of a moving comic - framing the deeply affecting pictures of the revolution and the interviews with prominent human rights campaigners and exiled Iranians.
Ali Samadi Ahadi's documentary is a very contemporary chronicle of the Green Revolution and a memorial for all of those who believed in more freedom and lost their lives for that.
Directed by Ali Samadi Ahadi
The Green Wave is released 30th September
