Summary

We’re taking a step back from our normal run of the show to bring you a very special exclusive interview with film director, screenwriter, producer and actress: Ana Lily Amirpour as she gives us a deep dive into what’s happening in Iran right now. Tune in to listen to this powerful interview and look below to see ways you can stay informed and even help. HELP IRAN ACCESS THE INTERNET This group of engineers have figured out a way to bypass the internet block in Iran. They provide internet access for 300,000+ Iranians. Internet access is crucial, because it allows information and videos to flow out of Iran, and keeps people inside Iran informed on protests, strikes, and other collective actions. Contributing (any amount) to these engineers is a way to help many people in Iran who currently rely on this service for accessing the internet. These engineers must stay anonymous for their safety. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thegeev STAY INFORMED Instagram accounts for daily intel and regular updates of what’s actually going on in Iran: @golfarahani (actress/France) @samanism (NYC/getting raw footage and direct videos from protestors on the ground) @iamnazaninnour (NYC/actress) @gissounia (NYC/lawyer) @mozhanmarnowastaken (NYC/actress/activist) @nicolenajafi (NYC/writer journalist) @yasharali (journalist) @jomanacnn (CNN international correspondent/ consistent reporting on Iran on CNN from day 1 of the revolution.
