	Magical Googoosh - A wonderful Persian singer
		Googoosh had to survive a succession of men who tried to manipulate or own the talent that delighted millions.
		For today's young Iranians, who know her music only through recordings, Googoosh is a symbol of what it was like to live before the revolution: in a Tehran of miniskirts and discos, a country as lawless as today, but more open to the world and to fun.
		That the government has given an active Googoosh the green light to move back and forth may convince the most stubborn of diaspora Iranians that travel to Iran is easier for dual-nationals than it ever has been since 1979.

		When Googoosh first took the stage at the open-air Al-Ahli stadium, her Arab fans were as ecstatic as her Iranian ones.
		And as reluctant as Googoosh is to talk politics, the album makes bold symbolic statements: the fl cover shows Googoosh's face through a veil of mourning and is entitled "Zardosht" (Zoroaster), a nod to Iran's pre-Islamic heritage frowned upon by Muslim clerics.

		Googoosh was Iran's most famous and beloved pop diva, until she was silenced following the 1979 Islamic revolution when female singers were labeled “temptresses” and forbidden to release records or perform publicly in the presence of men.
		Made during the time when Googoosh was forbidden to grant interviews or perform, the film artfully pieces together clips from Googoosh’s career on stage and screen, creating a portrait of a woman who is a cultural icon for a country trapped between tradition and modernization.
		And although still banned from performing in her homeland, Googoosh has recently rekindled the hearts of Iranians living abroad on the international touring circuit with sold out shows at such venues as: the Staples Center, Wembly Stadium, and the Air Canada Arena in Toronto.

		The best part of the documentary is watching all the clips of Googoosh who always manages to wear a completely different costume, sing a unique song and exhude a very happy and positive persona that no doubt had an effect of the nation of Iran.
		The footage of Googoosh singing is from old TV shows so it doesn't have a full sound but in some ways it sounds as good if not better than when originally broadcast.

		More than this, Googoosh's life itself embodies the modern Iranian experience: the bitter choices, the pain of separation, the loneliness of exile, the private life forever interrupted by politics.
		Finally, the Ayatullah Khomeini gave her — as he did all female singers whose voices were deemed too provocative — the choice of staying mute, or moving abroad, and risking never being allowed to return.
		But now that the Tehran regime is willing to export Googoosh — or at least not to deny to expatriates what it deems unfit for the population at home the Iranian diaspora might be moved to give the new Iran a closer look.

	Let Our Diva, Googoosh, Free to Sing Petition
		We, the undersigned, are fans of the Iranian Diva, Googoosh, who according to law has been provisionally banned to perform on the stage for being accused of breaching her contract.
		On Dec 17th 2004, only eight days before the date of her concert in Las Vegas when Googoosh has been informed that she wouldn’t be able to perform on the stage, she eventually decided to get all her grief off her chest and talk to people.
		This strong hatred is not just because of what they’ve done to Googoosh and how they abused her trust and fill their pockets, but it’s also because they are agents of Islamic Republic of Iran according to existing documents and are known as traitors nationwide.
