Roqe Ep#233 - Centuries before Ayatollahs, Iran was a preeminent scientific civilization

A new edition of Roqe as part of the Uprising series: Feature guests include Iranian-Canadian guitar maestro, composer and musician Babak Amini, who has been very active politically in recent months, and soprano opera singer Golrokh Aminian, both live in the Roqe studio. Jian begins the show with an essay suggesting that a revolution in Iran today is not only about the future but about returning to a proud pre-Ayatollah past. Plus, the Roqe regulars convene for the roundtable and discuss a new interview with Reza Pahlavi, the lackluster Fajr Film Festival currently taking place in Tehran, and the most recent viral videos about Iran.
