Coming soon at The Grayzone - Uncaptured: Jews in the Islamic Republic
Join Max Blumenthal on a trip throughout Iran as he meets members of the second largest Jewish community in the region. In this collaboration with acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Maria Mavati, Blumenthal takes a look at the lives and rich history of Jews inside the Islamic Republic that many might find surprising, and which provides a stunning rebuke to Zionist portrayals of post-revolutionary Iran.
"I had read and heard so much about them," Blumenthal reflected. "Some of it might have been true, but much of it felt like propaganda. So I wanted to see for myself – to meet Iran's Jews where they lived, in their congregations, and communities. What I found was an authentic brand of Judaism in practice, one representing thousands of years of tradition, and which today remains uncaptured by the militaristic force of Zionism."
