Against Wales, the players sang. But at that match, Iran's domestic troubles began to play out in a more contentious way, among Iranian fans. The players' on-field euphoria after beating Wales 2-nil shared the spotlight with \u003ca href=\"https://www.espn.com/soccer/ir-iran/story/4813286/iran-supporters-confront-protesters-before-wc-game-vs-wales\">ugly confrontations\u003c/a> between fans supporting the protest movement back home, and fans supporting the Iranian government that's been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/world/middleeast/iran-protests-children.html\">cracking down\u003c/a> on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the flashpoints during those confrontations was over flags. Some of the protest movement supporters waved, or tried to wave, pre-revolution flags of Iran. Government supporters, with help from Qatari security, confiscated those flags, reportedly ripping some away, and waved flags of the current national Islamic Republic of Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy over flags became even more pointed when the U.S. entered the fray.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be the Change ignites a firestorm\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the lead-up to this World Cup, the U.S. Soccer Federation talked frequently about a mission statement it created in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd — a statement, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ussoccer.com/be-the-change\">Be the Change\u003c/a>, that promoted an awareness and dedication to speak out on social injustices in the U.S. and around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This past weekend, U.S. Soccer spoke out. And ignited a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/27/1139304827/usa-change-iran-flag-to-remove-islamic-republic-emblem-before-world-cup-clash\">political firestorm\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was to post on social media images of Iran's flag scrubbed of its Islamic emblem and language saying \"God is great.\" It was the U.S. federation's way to show \"support for the women in Iran fighting for basic human rights.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The action drew support, but also anger and calls for the U.S. team, which had no prior knowledge of the federation's plan, to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2022/11/27/2812899/iran-to-file-complaint-to-fifa-ethics-committee-against-us-soccer-team\">kicked out\u003c/a> of the World Cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The depictions of the doctored flags were removed from social media and the normal Iranian flag was restored. The federation said the removal wasn't because of pressure, but rather because \"we wanted to show our support for the women in Iran with our graphic for 24 hours.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They may have wanted the show of support to be short-lived, but with tensions already high, the controversy followed both teams to Monday's pre-match press conferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Trying to steer toward soccer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters on Monday, Berhalter willingly answered questions about football and Tuesday's match, and dutifully answered questions about the flag flap — often from openly hostile members of the Iranian media contingent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he apologized on behalf of the players and team, Berhalter said several times that he and the team had no advance warning or involvement in the federation's plan to doctor the Iranian flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had no idea about what U.S. Soccer put out,\" Berhalter said, adding, \"of course our thoughts are with the Iranian people, the whole country, the whole team, everyone. But our focus is on this match.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, questions came, going beyond flags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more contentious moments came when an Iranian journalist scolded U.S. team captain Tyler Adams for incorrectly saying \"eye-ran\" rather than \"ih-rahn.\" The 23-year old, who's Black, apologized for the mispronunciation and then thoughtfully answered a question about whether he was \"OK to be representing [the U.S.], which has so much discrimination against Black people?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's discrimination everywhere you go,\" said Adams, whose mother is white and who grew up in a white family. \"So I had a little bit of different cultures and I was very easily able to assimilate in different cultures.

Against Wales, the players sang. But at that match, Iran's domestic troubles began to play out in a more contentious way, among Iranian fans. The players' on-field euphoria after beating Wales 2-nil shared the spotlight with \u003ca href=\"https://www.espn.com/soccer/ir-iran/story/4813286/iran-supporters-confront-protesters-before-wc-game-vs-wales\">ugly confrontations\u003c/a> between fans supporting the protest movement back home, and fans supporting the Iranian government that's been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/world/middleeast/iran-protests-children.html\">cracking down\u003c/a> on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the flashpoints during those confrontations was over flags.

The green, red and white of Iran’s flag served as the backdrop to the drawing of a woman cutting her ponytail with scissors — one of the many iconic images emerging from Iran in the past several weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the second of at least three planned murals in solidarity with Iran. The first was completed in Albany at the end of October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first mural in Albany shows a woman who is burning her headscarf, which is a symbol of oppression in Iran,” said Leva Zand, the executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.artogether.org/iranmurals/\">ARTogether\u003c/a>, a Bay Area nonprofit that uses arts for community building. Zand clarifies that when Iranian women burn their headscarves, they are not necessarily opposing the religious aspect, but rather what they see as an oppressive government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Iranian people are calling for regime change following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died in Iran after being arrested by Iranian morality police in mid-September for not properly wearing the hijab.

Salehi's lyrics speak against corruption, poverty and the killing of protesters in Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clarion Alley mural was finished earlier this week, and at least one more mural is planned for Oakland. The Oakland mural will take up a larger wall; be a collaboration between Iranian and non-Iranian artists; and require additional fundraising — so far, ARTogether has raised $1,500 of their goal of $15,000 for the final mural.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zand says the mural series has two main goals: raising awareness about what's happening in Iran, and showing solidarity with Iranians inside the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just heartwarming to me that my family and friends know that they are not alone and [that] we are thinking about them,\" she said. Zand is a refugee from Iran, having left in 2003.

The green, red and white of Iran’s flag served as the backdrop to the drawing of a woman cutting her ponytail with scissors — one of the many iconic images emerging from Iran in the past several weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the second of at least three planned murals in solidarity with Iran. The first was completed in Albany at the end of October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first mural in Albany shows a woman who is burning her headscarf, which is a symbol of oppression in Iran,” said Leva Zand, the executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.artogether.org/iranmurals/\">ARTogether\u003c/a>, a Bay Area nonprofit that uses arts for community building. Zand clarifies that when Iranian women burn their headscarves, they are not necessarily opposing the religious aspect, but rather what they see as an oppressive government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Iranian people are calling for regime change following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died in Iran after being arrested by Iranian morality police in mid-September for not properly wearing the hijab. Security forces, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/iran-middle-east-577c596775fb9a78d78107004d29d0f9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">including paramilitary volunteers with the Revolutionary Guard\u003c/a>, have violently cracked down on demonstrations, \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/iranian-protestors-clash-with-police-near-capital-more-deaths-reported\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">killing over 300 people and arresting more than 14,000\u003c/a>, according to human rights groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artists in Iran also are under fire. Recently, family members of Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi expressed concern for his health \u003ca href=\"https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-rapper-health-concerns-arrest-prison-torture/32112464.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">after he was arrested during ongoing protests\u003c/a>. Salehi's lyrics speak against corruption, poverty and the killing of protesters in Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clarion Alley mural was finished earlier this week, and at least one more mural is planned for Oakland. The Oakland mural will take up a larger wall; be a collaboration between Iranian and non-Iranian artists; and require additional fundraising — so far, ARTogether has raised $1,500 of their goal of $15,000 for the final mural.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zand says the mural series has two main goals: raising awareness about what's happening in Iran, and showing solidarity with Iranians inside the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just heartwarming to me that my family and friends know that they are not alone and [that] we are thinking about them,\" she said. Zand is a refugee from Iran, having left in 2003. She is also a scholar in feminist studies, so the fact that the current revolution is woman-led is important to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe in [the] healing aspect of art and also [in the] community-building aspects of art,\" she said. ARTogether programs support refugee and immigrant artists in different stages of their careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zand sent pictures of the first mural to family in Iran, and received multiple messages from different people expressing thanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11931263\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11931263\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS59787_001_KQED_IranMuralClarionAlley_11022022-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Two women paint a wall in Clarion Alley\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS59787_001_KQED_IranMuralClarionAlley_11022022-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS59787_001_KQED_IranMuralClarionAlley_11022022-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS59787_001_KQED_IranMuralClarionAlley_11022022-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS59787_001_KQED_IranMuralClarionAlley_11022022-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS59787_001_KQED_IranMuralClarionAlley_11022022-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS59787_001_KQED_IranMuralClarionAlley_11022022-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artists Roshanak Rahimi (left) and Farnaz Zabetian paint a mural in solidarity with the Iranian people on Clarion Alley, in San Francisco on Nov. 2, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The murals are already serving as a point of discussion and collaboration in San Francisco.

And for her, it always marks a dangerous time. “The last time this happened, I was back in Iran,” she said, referring to the 2019 shutdowns. “Both times it was the feeling of just maddening frustration, because you know that people are getting killed and there's nothing you can do about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11926721\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-scaled.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11926721\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"an alter with a woman's face in a hijab and flowers and candles\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/35BA3EAC-93D7-4A61-9880-CA95B7563187-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An altar at a protest at UC Berkeley in solidarity with Iran. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Persis Karim)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For many people living in the Bay Area with family and loved ones in Iran, the internet shutdowns invoke a lot of fear and deep worry.

It's one of the reasons why I spent so much time researching the time and the place, digging into what Berkeley was like in 1969 versus 1965 versus 1972 to get a sense of how Berkeley was changing — how the students within the university, but also the people within the city, were changing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iranian students [like my parents] were becoming more political and certainly more militant, looking around at groups like the Black Panthers to see how they were doing it. They were very aware of SDS [\u003ca href=\"https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what-was-protest-group-students-democratic-society-five-questions-answered-180963138/\">Students for a Democratic Society\u003c/a>]. In fact, some of them were members of both SDS and the Iranian student movement. So these weren't separate groups. The Iranian students very much influenced those groups and were influenced by them in return. For young people who were feeling that drive to change, there was one part of the spectrum that was drawn to the more militant, radical side of political activism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11908091\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Parents.png\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11908091 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Parents-800x764.png\" alt=\"A man and a woman are sitting on grass outside.

She had a quick, funny gait: heels in and toes out. It pitched her hips back and forth in a way that was a little tomboyish and a little suggestive. She found the sublet, which belonged to a young couple who were visiting Iran for a few months. The apartment was essentially a small room, but my mother took it to share with another Iranian girl I'll call Naz, who was a few years younger than she, the little sister of a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The girls moved into the studio with a love seat, milk crates, a phone, and a turntable. They slapped fat psychedelic-flower decals on the wall and pulled down the Murphy bed to share. That summer, their apartment was where everyone gathered on their way to the Iran house, the meeting place for all the ISA \u003cem>[\u003c/em>\u003cem>Iranian Student Association]\u003c/em> chapters in Northern California, a couple of blocks away.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>My mother and my father were part of the Iranian student movement, which was an anti-Shah movement. There were various different factions of that. The one thing that really unified them is that they didn't want the Shah of Iran to be in power anymore. My parents were on the left. They started as Marxist-Leninists, and as Berkeley tracked towards Maoism, which it was wont to do in the early 1970s, so [did] my parents also go further and further to the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Iranian student movement, the anti-Shah movement, was really becoming established — after the \u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/238287\">takeover of the Iranian consulate\u003c/a> [in San Francisco in 1970], for example — it became illegal to be part of what they call \"the confederation,\" the Iranian student movement. So then people were starting to cover their faces [at protests]. Looking at old newspaper clippings and \u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/189745\">video from protests\u003c/a>, you'll see that often they're wearing masks or hats and sunglasses. And as the '70s went on, these became full-face coverings.

One of the stories that people told me was that people filling these planes were singing revolutionary anthems. Both the leftists and, obviously, the Islamists, who were also part of this revolutionary fervor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, this group of the leftist student movement joined up with the Ayatollah and the Islamic wing trying to overthrow the Shah. This was a coalition movement, really. It was a pragmatic choice, one might say. As soon as the goal [of deposing the Shah] was achieved, then questions were brought to the fore, like, \"How do we govern?\" \"Who gets to govern?\" \"Who takes power?\" It became clear that the revolution wasn't going to pan out the way that the students certainly had hoped, or my parents had hoped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11908354\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Family-Edit.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11908354 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Family-Edit-800x733.jpg\" alt=\"Four people are seen in a family photo with two women, a man and a small child.\" width=\"800\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Family-Edit-800x733.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Family-Edit-1020x934.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Family-Edit-160x147.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Family-Edit-1536x1406.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Family-Edit.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Neda Toloui-Semnani's mother, aunt and uncle packing as they prepare to escape Iran, a harrowing journey that would take them by horseback into Turkey. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Neda Toloui-Semnani)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>On her harrowing escape from Iran on horseback as a toddler\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I have very vague memories of Iran.

I do remember wanting my mother that night. I remember that when she told me I couldn't be with her, I was confused and wondered if I were in trouble. I didn't understand that there wasn't enough room for me on her horse. I didn't understand that she was too big, the horse too small, and the trail too dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I also wonder if the last thing my mother would have wanted just then was a child pressed up against her. To be strong for me, she needed space for me. I was given my own horse and my own mustachioed smuggler. He scared me [...]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It grew later still. The horse swayed beneath me. I fell asleep against the smuggler. In my sleep, my fingers loosen their grip on my windbreaker. I woke up when it fell from my hand, floating down the mountainside. I begged the smugglers, my mother, aunts, and uncle to stop the horses and go back and find it. My smuggler went back and tried, but he didn't see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know where it is, I told him. I can find it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was dark and late. We had to keep moving. The moment they stopped looking for my jacket, I filled up with a fear so profound, the rest of me shrank to nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The world is unfair and I am washed away. I remember that feeling clearly.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch2>On trying to learn who her father was, after he was executed by the Ayatollah in 1983\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[When I was reporting this book,] people would give me these little kind of crumbs of [who] my father [was]. He would bite part of his hand when he was thinking, or he would click a pen when he was talking, or his voice when he would laugh, or how he would respond when he got annoyed. All of a sudden, there was a texture to him that had been missing before. Someone even recently sent me a picture where my dad's laughing. I had never seen a picture of him laughing before. The only image I'd ever seen of my father speaking was in his trial, which I found online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was these kinds of ways that I was able to patchwork him together from an idea into something that was more textured, more human and flawed, and kind of beautiful. When I was reflecting on it, I realized that's actually how we get to know who people are. We feel like we know the fullness of them. I started working on this book after my mother had passed away. So there was a lot of comfort in feeling like I was able to spend time with my father.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On hearing a \u003ca href=\"https://storycorps.org/the-unedited-interview-farah-ebrahimi-and-rose-elizabeth-gorman/\">StoryCorps interview\u003c/a> with her mother, three years after her death from cancer\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I was kind of frozen in place. I hadn't heard my mother's voice for so many years at that point, and she and I were really close. All of a sudden, it was actually a really beautiful moment of being parented. She just showed me that she had seen me all those years growing up. When I thought no one understood, my mom had seen what was happening, how lost I had felt, and how much I was grieving my dad, and how I was trying to make sense of everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way I took that moment was that she had given me space all these years, to take my time and find my way through this story and make my own peace with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On what she hopes this story will mean for her son someday\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I hope that this is where my son could go when he needs his mom. I wanted to be able to be with him. Anytime he needs me. You know, I started writing this book many years before he was born, so I didn't start this project with him in mind. After he was born, it changed what the project meant to me.

It's one of the reasons why I spent so much time researching the time and the place, digging into what Berkeley was like in 1969 versus 1965 versus 1972 to get a sense of how Berkeley was changing — how the students within the university, but also the people within the city, were changing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iranian students [like my parents] were becoming more political and certainly more militant, looking around at groups like the Black Panthers to see how they were doing it. They were very aware of SDS [\u003ca href=\"https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what-was-protest-group-students-democratic-society-five-questions-answered-180963138/\">Students for a Democratic Society\u003c/a>]. In fact, some of them were members of both SDS and the Iranian student movement. So these weren't separate groups. The Iranian students very much influenced those groups and were influenced by them in return. For young people who were feeling that drive to change, there was one part of the spectrum that was drawn to the more militant, radical side of political activism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11908091\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Parents.png\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11908091 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Neda-Parents-800x764.png\" alt=\"A man and a woman are sitting on grass outside.

She had a quick, funny gait: heels in and toes out. It pitched her hips back and forth in a way that was a little tomboyish and a little suggestive. She found the sublet, which belonged to a young couple who were visiting Iran for a few months. The apartment was essentially a small room, but my mother took it to share with another Iranian girl I'll call Naz, who was a few years younger than she, the little sister of a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The girls moved into the studio with a love seat, milk crates, a phone, and a turntable. They slapped fat psychedelic-flower decals on the wall and pulled down the Murphy bed to share. That summer, their apartment was where everyone gathered on their way to the Iran house, the meeting place for all the ISA \u003cem>[\u003c/em>\u003cem>Iranian Student Association]\u003c/em> chapters in Northern California, a couple of blocks away.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>My mother and my father were part of the Iranian student movement, which was an anti-Shah movement. There were various different factions of that. The one thing that really unified them is that they didn't want the Shah of Iran to be in power anymore. My parents were on the left. They started as Marxist-Leninists, and as Berkeley tracked towards Maoism, which it was wont to do in the early 1970s, so [did] my parents also go further and further to the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Iranian student movement, the anti-Shah movement, was really becoming established — after the \u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/238287\">takeover of the Iranian consulate\u003c/a> [in San Francisco in 1970], for example — it became illegal to be part of what they call \"the confederation,\" the Iranian student movement. So then people were starting to cover their faces [at protests]. Looking at old newspaper clippings and \u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/189745\">video from protests\u003c/a>, you'll see that often they're wearing masks or hats and sunglasses. And as the '70s went on, these became full-face coverings. They were very aware that they were being watched [by both the Shah's secret police and, potentially, the FBI].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On the promise of the revolution failing for her parents\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The planes going back into Iran [after the revolution] were filled with these young, idealistic activists who had been working for so long towards this revolution.

I do remember wanting my mother that night. I remember that when she told me I couldn't be with her, I was confused and wondered if I were in trouble. I didn't understand that there wasn't enough room for me on her horse. I didn't understand that she was too big, the horse too small, and the trail too dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now I also wonder if the last thing my mother would have wanted just then was a child pressed up against her. To be strong for me, she needed space for me. I was given my own horse and my own mustachioed smuggler. He scared me [...]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It grew later still. The horse swayed beneath me. I fell asleep against the smuggler. In my sleep, my fingers loosen their grip on my windbreaker. I woke up when it fell from my hand, floating down the mountainside. I begged the smugglers, my mother, aunts, and uncle to stop the horses and go back and find it. My smuggler went back and tried, but he didn't see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know where it is, I told him. I can find it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was dark and late. We had to keep moving. The moment they stopped looking for my jacket, I filled up with a fear so profound, the rest of me shrank to nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The world is unfair and I am washed away. I remember that feeling clearly.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch2>On trying to learn who her father was, after he was executed by the Ayatollah in 1983\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[When I was reporting this book,] people would give me these little kind of crumbs of [who] my father [was]. He would bite part of his hand when he was thinking, or he would click a pen when he was talking, or his voice when he would laugh, or how he would respond when he got annoyed. All of a sudden, there was a texture to him that had been missing before. Someone even recently sent me a picture where my dad's laughing. I had never seen a picture of him laughing before. The only image I'd ever seen of my father speaking was in his trial, which I found online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was these kinds of ways that I was able to patchwork him together from an idea into something that was more textured, more human and flawed, and kind of beautiful. When I was reflecting on it, I realized that's actually how we get to know who people are. We feel like we know the fullness of them. I started working on this book after my mother had passed away. So there was a lot of comfort in feeling like I was able to spend time with my father.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On hearing a \u003ca href=\"https://storycorps.org/the-unedited-interview-farah-ebrahimi-and-rose-elizabeth-gorman/\">StoryCorps interview\u003c/a> with her mother, three years after her death from cancer\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I was kind of frozen in place. I hadn't heard my mother's voice for so many years at that point, and she and I were really close. All of a sudden, it was actually a really beautiful moment of being parented. She just showed me that she had seen me all those years growing up. When I thought no one understood, my mom had seen what was happening, how lost I had felt, and how much I was grieving my dad, and how I was trying to make sense of everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way I took that moment was that she had given me space all these years, to take my time and find my way through this story and make my own peace with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On what she hopes this story will mean for her son someday\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I hope that this is where my son could go when he needs his mom. I wanted to be able to be with him. Anytime he needs me. You know, I started writing this book many years before he was born, so I didn't start this project with him in mind. After he was born, it changed what the project meant to me.
