“Berkeley Lecture Series” presents:
A Talk by Reese Erlich, Freelance Journalist
Topic: Tales from Tehran
Reese Erlich will talk about his trip to Iran, conversations with ordinary Iranians and current Bush Administration efforts to incite more violence in the region.
Reese Erlich traveled to Iran in June 2005 to report on the Iranian presidential elections for NPR and the Dallas Morning News. He had the opportunity to interview many ordinary Iranians, attend women’s rights demonstration and meet with high ranking officials. He will describe the political mood in Iran and assess the latest threats from the Bush Administration. Erlich made the trip with Norman Solomon and Sean Penn, and Erlich’s photos accompanied Penn’s articles in the SF Chronicle.
