A Nation's Rehearsals for Revolution Pegah Ahangarani's documentary, "Rehearsals for a Revolution," is a scathing critique of Iran's authoritarian regime and its decades long history of suppressing dissent.
Through her family's story, Ahangarani sheds light on the human cost of revolution, where idealism can quickly give way to disillusionment, despair, and death.
At first glance, the film may seem like a straightforward chronicle of Iran's recent history, from the 1979 revolution that brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power.
