Reanimating The Uprising

Dish readers in NYC might want to catch a screening of The Green Wave tomorrow at Lincoln Center. From the Sundance review:

[Writer-director Ali Samadi] Ahadi used a thousand entries in Iranian blogs [to] create two fictional students, whose hopes, fears and experiences with terror at the hands of government security thugs filter through the movie. Poor quality videos from YouTube and the like give the movie its crowd scenes and sequences of brutal violence.

A reader updates:

DC readers can also catch a screening on Wednesday at the AFI Theater in Silver Spring, as part of its excellent SilverDocs film festival. (I don't work for them; I just love that theater.)
