soon forget. our dreams sometimes are like others have, but they may hate it or at least be indifferent towards it. sometimes it is like something that we own and we are not aware of, and sometimes it does not exist, and we have just thought that others have. we're condemned to our mother's nationality, condemned to where we live, to live life that we spent and the footprints behind us, but i know one thing, we're free to have any hope, however far from the minds of others.

3:13 pm
3:14 pm
it was just something special, something that you can't find anywhere else in the world, and if i try to explain it, if i try to scientifically analyze it, that might take away from its power in a way, i would just..." this room was full of passion uh, and so
3:15 pm
much, so much love and so much spirituality in that room, so much emotion, uh, it was like nothing i've ever seen before anywhere, even though i had a translator, and so i couldn't hear word for word what he was saying, i could emotionally understand what he was saying, they weren't looking at each other, they weren't looking at each other, it was like it was it was a spiritual experience, being in that room was a spiritual experience, i know after i heard one song uh, my guy uh said to me, he said, do you want to go? i said, no, no, i want to stay, i want to see this, mean it was like nothing i'd ever felt, there was an energy in that room of all these men, here in iran, full of energy, having a relationship with god through music, چون نامه نوشته, عاشق نشتو امامت. it's a kind of um spiritual
3:16 pm
religious music that is about so much more than than just the sound. to have that much love, that much emotion, i could definitely see myself doing that, and there are other times in my life where i felt this way, full of passion, you know, and it's just, it's very deep. 'when i get back i'm going to read the quran, all of it, every
3:17 pm
page, i need to, i need to learn about islam, i need to understand islam, um, i also want to read the hadith so that i understand about the imams, and and their history.' here we are in a very sacred place where so many people who gave their lives in support the islamic revolution are buried uh these men are shaheed or marters, people gave their lives and supported the islamic revolution. you can look at at all these faces here, and most of these men are people who signed up. they were people who signed up in the military to defend his iran's revolution during the iraq iran war, fought and died to protect the revolution that imam komeini led, but then you come over to these two. these
3:18 pm
two men, these weren't soldiers, these weren't people who were engaged in any kind of armed fighting. "these two men were simply doing what many people do all over the world and doing scientific research. these were scientific researchers. these were people involved in science related to iran's peaceful nuclear energy program. they were trying to help develop iran's peaceful nuclear energy program, doing scientific research and investigation, and for that they were killed by the israely government, in collaboration with terrorists, they killed these two men, we're doing nothing but..." trying to develop peaceful nuclear energy, build up their country, engaging in peaceful scientific research. these men were killed, murdered in their own country, simply for trying to engage in scientific research.
3:19 pm
no, no, wait, i'm so. emotionally involved that i forgot to define the principle. the film is still not over. let us return once more to the holy shrine. we're here in a very, very sacred place, this isbar. um, and there are celebrations going on, they haven't actually started yet, celebrations for imam
3:20 pm
makdi. after the ceremony, had a good chance to talk with some of the participants in this ceremony. with what was left of my trip, i still could not meet. with the author of the letter, i want to introduce myself, first of all, my name is caleb and i'm from the united states and i read the letter of the supreme leader to the youth of europe and north america and i've come to iran to learn more about the supreme leader in the revolution, and if i wanted to meet the supreme leader, دفتر بیت بگن حتماً ملاقات براشون. بچه های هییت حاج محمد. no hope, but one of them suggested that i forget a private meeting with iran's supreme leader, but meet him rather in a public ceremony. he suggested that the nearest one was the public ceremony on the anniversary of imam komeini. i decided to take part in that ceremony. i set up detailed email to the office of the supreme leader. i know that the time for coordination for the public and private is too short, so
3:21 pm
at least i could have been allowed for in guests. there are still three days left until the meeting and it was a good opportunity for to me to complete my trip to iran. امریکا واقعاً داره به ایران زور میده یعنی حرفاش اصلاً بی منطقه یعنی الان میاد میگه آقا ما کنار میایم با. if you were to stand a corner in the united states and i've done this actually, i'm a reporter so i have to go out and get what they call vox pops sometimes where you have to ask people their opinion. a lot of people have no idea, have don't care about politics, don't care about world

"and they may think that they are personally being attacked, but i'm very educated about what my government does around the world, and i know they're not chanting against me, they're not chanting against my family or the people living..." my community, they're chanting against the government of the united states and what it does around the world, which is mass murder. زمان گذشته دیگه ما به شما باج
