Shirinshahr


Documentary by Al-Ahwaz TV on the exclusive Persian township of Shirinshahr and the ethnic cleansing of Ahwazi Arabs. Shirinshahr is based on unique footage shot on the road to the ethnic Persian township currently under construction. The new town is being built on land confiscated from Ahwazi farmers. The film shows the constrast between the abject poverty of Ahwazi Arabs compared to the large investments being ploughed into exclusive Persian settlements built on their land.
