Death to America, the bearded student chants as television cameras roll; when the cameras leave, the students accosts Afshin Molavi: I hear you have come from America! How can I get a green card? This is Iran, the culmination of 2,600 years of Persian history and a nation of many realities. Molavi, born in Iran and fluent in Farsi, traveled his homeland for over a year, meeting with students of the right and left, bazaar merchants, Islamic clerics, pro-democracy writers, and kids hooked on anything Western. All opened their hearts to Molavi, speaking candidly about issues that matter to them: from unemployment to the Internet, from the ruling clerics to green cards.
