This past Friday, in coordination with Holocaust Remembrance Day, an Iranian Satellite broadcast the 1980's film Genocide for the first time. The article explains that the Iranian public has been denied information about the Holocaust. The author, Lisa Daftari, states that the Iranian government has not allowed the public to access information about the Holocaust and that the Iranian president is an advocate for Holocaust deniers. Daftari's obvious hatred of the Iranian regime is clear from her description of the president and the government. The article points out that the Iranian population will relate to the film since many are "suffering and are repressed." Daftari gives some background on the organization who sponsored the airing of the movie, while also explaining the importance of the broadcast to the Iranian public. She uses a mixture of quotes and her own personal perspective to explain the importance of the airing of Genocide.
