TRIVIA

Trivia

There is a misspelled word in the big banner the protesters carry in front of them

Before opening credits: "IRAN: The birthplace of great poetry. And the first charter of human rights. Yet today the regime denies freedom of expression. Now on the streets and behind closed doors, the youth are defiant."
