Az Faryad Ta Terror and the Most Political Soundtrack of All Time | E07

Once again, Happy Nowruz Everyone! With the new Persian year we look at Iranian cinema once more to uncover gems or things-that-kind-of-look-like-gems-if-you-squint; and with the landscape of Iran and Middle East these days, there's no better candidate than "Az Faryad Ta Terror" (roughly translated to "From Screaming to Assassination") Made in 1979 and released in 1980, this movie is one of the first cinematic projects to get released after the Islamic Revolution; but nowadays it's mostly remembered not because of that or because of its story or cinematography, but because of a song that originated in it: "Yare Dabestani Man". The song has become kind of an anthem for any political movement in Iran since its conception, but it's important to realize and remember where it came from. That is the goal of this (supposedly short) video.
