'A document of real optimism.' Guardian

A window into the new Iran in the making, demanded by its activists, artists and citizens

The 2022-3 Women, Life, Freedom protests set Iran aflame. Today, the fire still burns, as Iranians all across the country down their tools and take to the streets to demand social and economic justice: the right to a normal life.

In What Iranians Want, Arash Azizi shows us how Iranians nurtured the flame of resistance since the very inception of the Islamic Republic in 1979. From mass strikes in Kurdistan to Hijab burnings, for decades Iranians have put their lives on the line to demand a better future - an end to crushing poverty, political liberty and greater social equality.

Ayatollah Khamenei's order is built on sand. They may crush protestors in blood today but tomorrow Iranians will rise up again and proclaim their freedom.
