ARTEAvailable until January 28, 2029. This is the travelogue of journalist Kajin Azadi, who was able to enter Iran in early January and leave with these exclusive images just a few days ago. A plunge into the heart of the Tehran uprising.
Kajin Azadi blends his own account, what he discovered while traveling through his country in the midst of chaos, with the rare testimonies he was able to gather along the way. For security reasons, we have preserved the anonymity of the Iranian men and women who agreed to speak. A soldier, opposed to the use of excessive force, refused to take part in the repression and is extremely critical of the regime. The director of a Tehran health center relays the words of the doctors who had to treat the thousands of wounded and who remain silent for fear of reprisals. A student recounts the protests, the total internet blackout, and the impact of the dramatic situation on her daily life. A young Kurd dreams of regime change so that he, too, can finally experience freedom in an Iran that respects all cultures.
