May 2005
Iranian exiles in the US are harnessing the
power of the media to provoke regime change
back home. Through uncensored satellite
broadcasts they hope to encourage the masses
to rise.
Zia Atabay was once a famous pop star in
Iran. Now, he's pouring his money into his
own personal TV station to send his message
back home. "I know the Iranian government is
dangerous," he states. By publicising dire
images of the regime's misdeeds, he hopes to
bring about change. Other satellite
broadcasters are using more subtle methods to
bring down the government. Dancing girls, pop
music and fashion videos are all banned in
Iran but lapped up by a hungry young
audience. "Viewers want to see what they
don't have. They want to see young people's
lives in Western countries," explains TV
presenter Luna Shadzi. Cultural freedom may
prove more powerful than all the political
propaganda.
