The Green Wave is a powerful film documenting the populist protests in Iran following the suspicious victory of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over progressive candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi in the Iranian presidential elections on June 12, 2009. Cell phone videos posted on the internet, Twitter messages, as well as animated blog posts and interviews with prominent human rights advocates and exiled Iranians bear witness to the brutal attacks by government militia in their efforts to squelch the protests that followed. The Green Wave is a highly contemporary chronicle of the Green Revolution, and a memorial for all of those who believed in freedom and lost their lives for it. -- (C) Official Site

Review For Movie The Green Wave
It offers a rare glimpse into the insurgents' long-held hopes for reform. This green wave, as a blogger remarks, is a tidal wave.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor A wrenching but illuminating look at what actually happened during Iran's Green Revolution in 2009-10.
Tom Keogh-Seattle Times For all its omissions and problems, "The Green Wave" communicates certain basic truths effectively: Many Iranians want their voices to be heard and their votes to count.
Rachel Saltz-New York Times By airing an impassioned chorus of voices ranging from lawyers to religious clerics, the film argues that the 2009 protests were simply preparing the way for a larger populist movement that has yet to crest.
R. Emmet Sweeney-Time Out New York [Shows] us a moment in history that reveals more about itself each time it is examined.
Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times The movie shows what happened, but it also conveys what it felt like to travel from euphoria to despair in the space of a few weeks.
Ella Taylor-NPR Striking and powerful, The Green Wave serves as an inventive registering of the turmoil, upheaval and governmental crackdown of the Arab Spring.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness Unlike Waltz with Bashir, it only seems to be using animation in an effort to make blog diaries by twentysomethings appear cinematic.
Lauren Wissot-Slant Magazine A forceful reminder that the present regime beat, tortured, murdered and imprisoned its own subjects.
Derek Malcolm-This is London Ahadu pulls the curtain back on a government that was willing to imprison and torture its electorate.
Henry Barnes-Guardian [UK] There are harrowing moments and a pulse, throughout, of passionate indignation. But more precision in the chronicling of events would have generated more power.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times It's an exciting time for Islamic cinema and this doc is an extraordinary intro into Iranian politics.
Shelley Jones-Little White Lies Offsetting any gaps in its historical record is the breadth of testimony.
Chris Buckle-The Skinny A worthy topic that deserves a slightly better documentary.
-Empire Magazine Heartfelt and inventive, this documentary from exiled director Ali Samadi Ahadi chronicles Iran's abortive Green Revolution during the summer of 2009.
Tom Dawson-Total Film What happened in Iran in 2009 led the way for the Arab democracy revolt
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit Ali Samadi Ahadi paints a poetic and heartfelt portrait of a nation oppressed.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film Director Ali Samadi Ahadi intelligently weaves texts and blogs set against footage from a variety of sources.
