Synopsis by Jeff Gemmill
Frontline examines the story of Neda Soltani, the young Iranian woman shot and killed in Tehran during a protest against the results of the 2009 Iranian presidential election, and how her death has become a symbol for those striving to keep the reform movement going. The documentary also looks at the numbers of Iranian protesters arrested and killed by the security forces, whether the presidential vote was manipulated, and the reported divisions among Iran's ruling elites.
