Inside Iran

It used to be considered one of America’s top enemies. Now, surprisingly, it may represent the best hope for democratic government in the Gulf region. This ABC News program takes viewers on a rare trip inside Iran to study Iranian society in flux. Reformist parliamentary candidates, who seek election in the face of resistance by the religious establishment, and a younger generation in quiet rebellion despite the very real risk of imprisonment are viewed as bellwethers of a culture moving away from theocracy toward democracy.
