Generation Tehran

This is an interesting mini-doc on the youth of Tehran. Mostly an assortment of testimonials, I think it offers a good look at the complexities and the diversity within urban Iranian culture.

It's often noted that the bulk of Iran's population is under 30. The leadership of the country has mostly failed to tap into this energy, with the most recent and relevant example perhaps being the presidential campaign(s) of Mohammad Khatami. A decade of inaction, alienation, and worse yet, declining economy, have led to apathy and consumption for many of the nation's young.
