I've Been Thinking:
Liraz Charhi has just finished her second album. She is an Israeli actress and singer, of Persian decent.
For this album, Liraz had Iranian women from Iran singing with her. She used encrypted chats and encrypted social media. She sent money to her back-up singers through third countries. And she was petrified that they would be discovered.
“Technically, it was very difficult” Charhi, 42, said in an interview. “But emotionally, it was much more difficult. I felt night after night that I was doing a bad thing and these people could be arrested.”
In the end Liraz Charhi fulfilled her dream.
She is a strong believer that the real problem in Iran is Iranian leadership, not Iranians.
What a remarkable story.
