Massoud Behnoud’s Film on Classic Music Maestros

Before endorsing the Islamic Republic’s Constitution as legitimate, the Islamic Revolution as Irreversible (despite his vocal acknowledgement of Shapour Bakhtiar’s genuine efforts of democratization, notably the medias) and selling the IRI at every opportunity on major Diaspora Media Networks (ranging from VOA to BBC Persian) as still reformable into an “Islamic Democracy”, veteran Journalist Massoud Behnoud was and still remains a sensitive and talented documentary maker. (NOTE: See Thread with My Critics Regarding his views on VOA’s Parazit)

Well I guess we all have our contradictions …

But then One Wonders if One however talented is AnyMore Wiser When Older ? ...
