This documentary follows three weeks of work and life of journalists in the liberal Iranian newspaper Shargh ("East"). Since 2003, a young team of employees despite brave the sharp conditions of censorship and attempts unswervingly to provide objective information. It quickly became Shargh thus one of the nation's most widely read newspapers of Iran. Loyal readers, intellectuals, opinion makers, politicians and many young people. Presentation and image selection are the layout of the "New Yorker" and "Independent" ajar.
The young team of Shargh, average age 28, which also includes many female journalists, has made professional reporting and neutral information to the maxim: open journalism in the face of censorship. Shargh Editor're constantly on the fine line between straight-line information and censorship and thus risking the permanent closure of its blade. It remains extremely difficult to weigh every day, which could provoke headlines, cover stories and language the official Iran to excessive reactions. A government censor sitting in the offices and deletes whole paragraphs without mercy before the deadline. Even once the paper was closed at short notice, after criticism in a public letter to the leader Ayatollah Khamenei, was that all reformist candidates should not be admitted to the parliamentary elections. Shargh has less to international politics, but rather the societal and social conditions in the country, so as to make reformers courage.
