5.0 out of 5 starsVery enjoyable and moving documentary
By Reese on January 8, 2013
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed watching this documentary on Iranian Americans. It gives an accurate and emotional account of the experience of Iranians who emigrated in America and who had to start a new life in a new culture. For me as first generation American of Iranian parents, I was most touched by the woman who got emotional talking about how her children would never see or experience the Iran that she grew up in. In fact, that Iran does not exist anymore. I think my parents and many Iranians could really relate to that. My other favorite part? The comedian Maz Jobrani, who is hilarious as always -- love him!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat
By Nina on December 21, 2012
I completely disagree with the review titled "me first", which is a very unfair opinion on the film. Comparing this to Shahs of Sunset is extremely unreasonable and irrelevant. This film does a great job portraying the true story of countless Iranian immigrants, and even includes several Iranian minority groups which was great, since they are not as well represented in a lot of media about Iran. Where as the negative reviewer states that only wealthy Iranians are portrayed, clearly he/she forgot the whole discussion on the hardship and struggles many of these immigrants faced when first arriving: unemployment, struggling to find a place to stay, sharing a 1 bedroom with an entire family to name a few. There is nothing wrong with showing how this immigrant community has been able to find their foot hold in America in such a short period of time to become such a positive, successful and beneficial people in American society. The film goes beyond politics to illustrate some of the most important aspects of Iranian culture: the holidays, food, the family are examples. Ultimately this film will make any Iranian even more proud of his/heritage and educates non Iranians about an ancient, rich and entirely prevalent culture in a day when positive representation can be so hard to come by. A great piece of work.

By Amazon Fan on September 8, 2014

A very interesting, balanced view of what it must have been like to come to this country at a time when the only home you ever knew was in a precarious state of affairs.
Coming here for two weeks, staying for thirty years....quite a change in one's mental paradigm. The resolve, ambition and adaptability of Iranians, coupled with the pride they feel towards their heritage, makes for a successful assimilation into American life.
America is a better place because of the intelligence, innovation, strong work ethic, and dynamic personalities of the Iranians who came here and have contributed richly to the progressive, innovative culture of our great country.

5.0 out of 5 starsInformative, Accurate, and Entertaining. I'd love to see more!
By Niloufar H Kargar on December 26, 2012
The Iranian Americans is fantastic! So often I am asked about my heritage and culture and other than my own personal stories and pictures, I don't have much to share. This documentary covers diverse perspectives and is something I intend to share with friends and colleagues. Andrew Goldberg has done an outstanding job.

5.0 out of 5 starsTouching but I wanted more...
By Parvin on December 23, 2012
Verified Purchase
My husband and I were very happy to see The Iranian-Americans. I am a Persian Baha'i and my husband is an American Baha'i. We meet in Iran at the beginning of the Revolution and we haven't been back since. Nor will we ever go back until things change for the better. Baha'is have suffered most grievously under the bloody-hands of the religious fanatics.

The interviews were touching and some of them made me miss my homeland but I was not happy with the focus on rich refugees. There are so many hard working, wonderful, talented Iranians living in the U.S. and they all mourn for Iran.

Next, we would like to see a realistic portrayal of Iranian political and religious refugees who have immigrated here and have worked so hard to succeed.

The documentary did a wonderful job balancing the old ways with the new. In the next documentary,if we are lucky enough to have one, show how the first generation Persian-American children are growing up, testing the new ways of living in America. Some find it satisfying but others have been exploring their roots and finding much new meaning in integrating the old and the new.

Thank you.

By Poopak Mohajer on December 23, 2012
I loved this movie. Finally,there is a fair documentary that shows Iranian like other people like to live a happy life, get together, eat, laugh and have fun. They work hard and they are educated.
