A big new edition from the Uprising series focusing on the ongoing revolution in Iran and the movement for change. Jian starts off with an audio essay about the regime’s militarized attack on Mahabad/Kurdistan - and the “full-on war” that has begun against the Iranian people. Then the Roqe Roundtable convenes with a full agenda of items including the World Cup, the massacres in Kurdistan and the Western media’s misunderstanding of the revolution. Feature guests include:

Bahman Ghobadi in New York
Sahar F in Qatar
Mohsen Parsa in Irvine, California
