Iran: One question fifty answers (English Captions)

“Iranian graphic artist Ali Molavi asked 50 people in Tehran: ‘What’s your wish for today?’ At first timid, they answered candidly, reflecting the passions, problems and politics in Iran today. Their wishes ranged from buying a motorcycle, being reborn, to finding a good job. One man wanted ‘all the inflation and high prices to go away.’ Another wished for Iran to ‘move towards peace and understanding with other countries. One woman did not have any wishes. ‘They have not left any room for us to dream anymore,’ she said.”

War Without End

War Without End

“There has been much in the news over the past two weeks commemorating the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the pre-emptive Iraq War.  The above YouTube video commemorates the ending of an even greater conflict, World War I, which began in 1914 and ended in 1918.  This is one of the most powerful and heart-wrenching documentaries you will ever watch, especially the never-to-be-forgotten recitation of the Siegfried Sassoon poem, Aftermath, by actor Jeremy Irons at the end of the program (which garnered an Emmy Award).”

Cuba, part one: first impressions

Posted on by

“My wife and I traveled to Cuba with 22 other Americans (January 9-16) on a tour organized by Road Scholar; a Boston based nonprofit travel agency formerly known as Elderhostel.  Road Scholar has a license issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department to conduct People-to-People interactions.  On January 9 we took an early morning one-hour charter flight from Miami International Airport to Cienfuegos, a port city of about 100,000 in the southern central part on the island.  In addition to our group dozens of Cuban Americans were on board to visit their families.”

It might not get weirder than this: Sophie Schmidt in North Korea

Posted on by

“Ordinary North Koreans live in a near-total information bubble, without any true frame of reference.  I can’t think of any reaction to that except absolute sympathy.  My understanding is that North Koreans are taught to believe they are lucky to be in North Korea, so why would they ever want to leave?  They’re hostages in their own country, without any real consciousness of it.  And the opacity of the country’s inner workings–down to the basics of its economy–further serves to reinforce the state’s control.  The best description we could come up with: it’s like The Truman Show, at country scale.”
