The footage depicts the secret double lives of Iranians drinking, dancing, and singing to celebrate life when owning a VHS player was illegal in the Islamic Republic. The footage is an amateur performance of pop and folklore songs about love, loss and life. Although many Iranians must have recorded such vivid moments, they are rarely made available publicly. Such tapes would usually have been well hidden, lost, or purposefully destroyed.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— Parham Ghalamdar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Death Is Not The End","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42072092082332,"sku":"DEATH064","price":12.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_0baaf187-31da-4471-a19f-67a9a11c6f78.jpg?v=1665503423","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/parham-ghalamdar-beautiful-apparitions-cassette","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
