Description
Iranian TV is officially known as the "Voice and Vision of the Islamic Republic," but with the majority of air-time dedicated to religion, people have their own name for it-"glass wool," a wry reference to the great number of clerics' beards seen through the screen. This film examines television in Iran, with observations from journalists and activists on the divide between government-sanctioned broadcasts and what viewers really want to watch. Satellite dishes, theoretically banned, allow many to access Persian-language programs from the U.S. that show all that's missing from their own airwaves: music videos, women speaking freely, and pro-democracy transmissions from exiled dissidents.
