The Green Wave

Green is the color of hope. Green is the color of Islam. And Green was the symbol of recognition among the supporters of presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who became the symbolic figure of the Green Revolution in Iran 2009. The presidential elections on 12 June 2009 were supposed to bring about a change, but contrary to all expectations the ultra-conservative populist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was confirmed in office. The on-going 'Where is my vote?' protest demonstrations were again and again worn down and broken up with brutal attacks by government forces. 'The Green Wave' is a touching documentary-collage illustrating the dramatic events and the feelings of the people behind this revolution.
