This article is centered around a series of photographs that captures the life of youth in Iran. The photographer, Mr. Fatemi, portrays these youth through an interesting social lens. The photographs are all of young Iranians participating in officially illegal, and often "western", activities. These activities include socializing with the opposite sex, owning pets, and playing rock music. The article displays a counter culture that is often over looked by the mass media and world reporters. It illustrates how everyday, the Iranian youth find a way to push back against the ever more oppressive government and to strive to live the freer lives that they want to live. It proves that even if the youth's movement for freedom is sometimes missed, it is still thriving in its own way.
