Being Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Inside Today’s Iran

with Mark Johnson and Sally Cummins

The nuclear crisis in Iran has attracted the world’s attention. For 30 years, the governments of the US and Iran have viewed each other with suspicion and animosity. Mark Johnson and his wife, Sally Cummins, have just returned from a 6 week visit across Iran. They spoke with dozens of Iranian citizens in many cities and villages and found out what is happening behind the scenes, and what Iranians really think.

This event took place on December 31st, 2009.
