A Death in Tehran

In the height of the protests following Iran's controversial presidential election this summer, a young protester named Neda Agha Soltan was shot and killed. Her death -- filmed on a camera phone, distributed across the internet and watched by tens of millions across the world -- quickly became an international outrage, and Agha Soltan became the face of a powerful opposition movement. Through vivid eyewitness accounts of the protest and interviews with those closest to Agha Soltan -- made possible with the help of a unique network of correspondents reporting from inside and outside of Iran -- FRONTLINE sheds new light on the life and death of this young woman and the movement she helped to inspire in "A Death in Tehran," airing Tuesday, Nov. 17. In this podcast, host Arun Rath also talks with Kelly Niknejad, editor-in-chief of the Tehran Bureau Web site, about how her team is able to report news from Iran that no one else can cover, the cultural and historical context missing from much coverage in the West, and what her sources are telling her about the most recent opposition activity and protests.
