Neda Agha-Soltan after being shot by Iranian police/paramilitary at a protest on 20 June 2009.
The documentary “For Neda” about the life and death of Iranian protester Neda Agha-Soltan, which I had the honour to play a small role in, won the Foreign Press Association Media Award 2010 in the category of TV feature/documentary. The two producers Antony Thomas and Saeed Kamali Dehghan also won the prize as Journalists of the Year.
Congratulations and thanks again for including me in the film!
Forgive me, Andreas, but my memory is not too good these days. How did you participate in this film?
I’m glad to see this topic hasn’t been forgotten. Let’s hope this will help bring a greater degree of freedom to the people of Iran.
I contributed a short interview, speaking about Islamic law in Iran and also about my own experiences at the protests against the rigged elections in 2009. I went to Tehran just 2 days after Neda Agha-Soltan had been killed, to witness and participate in the protests myself: https://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/reports-about-my-trip-to-iran-in-junejuly-2009/
Thanks for that information, Andreas. I’m glad you got out of there uninjured!
