Animated blogs and tweets from Iran form the backbone of this enlightening and sometimes shocking reconstruction of the 2009 Green Revolution.
In May of that year, the youthful green-clad crowds were still enraged, and the atmosphere in the stadium where presidential candidate Mousavi held his speech was, according to eyewitnesses, explosive. The desire for change was huge. “It helped me to regain my faith in humanity,” one person recalls. Election Day itself was a deception on a massive scale: the supply of ballot papers would suddenly run out, and polling stations were closed for puzzling reasons.
We see these events onscreen as they were recorded with mobile phones and digital cameras. The blogs and tweets visualised using animation give an insider’s view to the true extent of the suppression.
