It's a real shame Cyrus Kar was wrongfully imprisoned like that in Iraq, disgusting if you ask me! Plus it only made the movie take longer as they (US forces) destroyed all of the footage he shot in Iraq

Regardless the movie is almost there.. According to www.spentaproductions.com all the raw footage has been shot and they only need a little more cash ($430,000) to finish it off.. from the preview it looks really promising!

High resolution version (English & Persian available):http://spentaproductions.com/cyruspreview.htm

The high rez is much better!

Enjoy :D

Thanks!

Thanks, Shugs. It's a good video.

I spoke with my 21 year old son, home on spring break about the movie 300. He said he heard it was a good movie. He plans on seeing it.

I told him what you guys have been saying about it and how unhistorical it is, how the West has had an unfounded bias towards Greece as the foundation of Western civilization. I told him to keep that in mind when he watches it. I'll see if I can get him to watch this video.

PS. Too bad they will never get to see this in Iran under the current regime.

Thanks shugs. looks like a great doc. cant wait to see it

independent film? doesnt that mean its gonna be really shit? :ohno:

It's about the budget not the size of the studio... Often independent productions are better films than those of mega studios...

Besides this is a docu-film.

'Cyrus the Great' movie, directed by Alexander Jovey has an $80million budget!

Help Cyrus the Great Project[/B]

Hollywood's cinematic assault on Persian history in the movie '300' offended many Iranians even before the movie had officially opened in theaters. But as in case of every attack on Persian identity like the National Geographic and Google's mislabeling of the historical Persian Gulf, the outrage is often short-lived and sporadic without meaningful action to counter the ongoing Western propaganda to deride ancient Persia's contribution to human civilization.

Filmmaker Cyrus Kar was captured by U.S. forces in Iraq on May 17, 2005 and jailed in solitary confinement for nearly two months while filming his documentary "In search of Cyrus the Great" the founder of the greatest and most just Empire the world had ever seen.

But despite his heroic efforts the documentary revealing that many of what is today considered as "western values" originated from ancient Persia remains unfinished due to lack of funds.

In an article in response to the movie '300' Kar wrote: "History is no longer written by the victors, it is written by filmmakers. Perhaps movie '300' was a necessary wake-up call for the Iranian/Persian community to support responsible filmmakers, who report history with honesty and integrity".

Please help Cyrus finish this documentary by making a tax deductible donation to 'Filmmakers Alliance'.
