DESCRIPTION:Screening on the occasion of the International Day in Support of Political 
 Prisoners in Iran \nco-sponsored by the International Emergency Campaign to 
 Free Iran's Political Prisoners Now\n\nThe government of Iran forcibly 
 conscripts all young men and then orders some to execute political 
 prisoners. There is No Evil, by director Mohammad Rasoulof, filmed in 
 secret and banned in Iran, vividly brings out the moral agony of young 
 soldiers required to execute, and the lifelong consequences to those who go 
 along - and those who don’t. This deep and moving film exposes Iran’s 
 fundamentalist theocracy, and powerfully poses the universal moral 
 bankruptcy of “I was only following orders”.\n\nOn June 20, the 
 International Day in Support of Political Prisoners in Iran, Revolution 
 Books is proud to screen There is No Evil. The fascist Islamic theocracy in 
 Iran incarcerates thousands of prisoners, including political prisoners who 
 are subject to torture – it executed at least 853 people in 2023 - 74% of 
 all executions in the world. At the Cannes film Festival last month 
 Rasoulof spoke out, joining the urgent international battle to save the 
 life of Toomaj Salehi, a revolutionary rapper who has been imprisoned for 
 his rebel music, powerful support for the Women, Life, Freedom movement, 
 and has now been sentenced to execution.\n\nThis important film digs into 
 choices which are profoundly posed right now. Yes, posed in Iran, with its 
 savage repression against its people; posed in Palestine to all who excuse 
 the great crimes committed by Israel; posed as well to everyone in the USA 
 where this government murders, tortures, bombs, exploits and destroys 
 people all over the planet. Is complicity and going along in silence 
 acceptable? Or is it reprehensible? Who will stand up – and who will 
 confront what it means to put an end to this?\n\nWatch the trailer:
