Azadeh Moaveni
Azadeh Moaveni, long time Middle East correspondent for Time magazine, who returned to Iran in 2005 to cover the rise of President Mohmoud Ahmadinejad. Mingling with underground artists, scholars and young radicals, she explores the frustrations of Iran's next generation and frustrations with the Islamic system. She discovers a nation far more complex than that portrayed in the US media—a people yearning for more freedom and contact with the west yet filled with nationalist spirit and genuine economic grievances. And then, she falls in love with a young Iranian man, gets married and has a child.
