Journey through Iran

In late 2013 I had the chance to travel through Iran for around 5 weeks, a great possibility to see more of a country that captivated my attention in previous years. Mostly making headlines for all the wrong reasons, there had to be more to a country with such a long and diverse history. This travel video is a modest attempt to show some of the diversity that exists in Iran. It was edited in early 2014 and should be seen in a different (political) context than today's. The economic sanctions, that have recently been eased, were still very much in place. Many people were struggling to make a living, yet there always seemed a way to make things happen. The openess and welcoming attitude of the Iranian people were probably the things that most impressed me. Walking the ancient bazaars was a great way to meet people and talk about daily life. Almost everywhere I went, I was received with a smile and in many cases a fresh cup of tea. The video starts with a brief introduction of Iran's modern history. It then shows some different aspects of society, from the rural areas to the cities, from the country's broader economic picture to the role of religion. It is by no means an attempt to give a full overview of Iran. You would have to read dozens of books, watch countless documentaries, and do more research. The best advice I can give if you want to learn more about this fascinating country, however, is to visit for yourself. No doubt, you will be surprised. Copyright of all footage: Hoffer Media
