As my colleague Neil Genzlinger wrote in a review on Tuesday, a new documentary on the protests in Iran, produced for PBS and the BBC, pieces together the death, and life, of Neda Agha-Soltan, the 26-year-old protester whose last moments were caught on video on June 20 and posted online within hours.

The documentary, which can be seen in its entirety below (our thanks to the people at PBS who made this possible), makes extensive use of amateur video of the protests shot the day Ms. Agha-Soltan was killed. By combing through the amateur video of that day’s events posted online, the producers were able to find several images of Ms. Agha-Soltan at the protest against the government on Tehran’s streets before she was shot. The film also includes interviews with her family and friends and with Arash Hejazi, the doctor who tried to save her. (Be advised, the documentary also includes the graphic, disturbing images of Ms. Agha-Soltan bleeding to death on the street.)





One of the producers of the documentary, Angus Macqueen, published a long interview with Ms. Agha-Soltan’s boyfriend, Caspian Makan, in the British Sunday newspaper The Observer this week. In that interview, and in the documentary, Mr. Macqueen makes it clear that, despite early reports that may have been part of an attempt to protect her family, Ms. Agha-Soltan was in the streets to protest Iran’s presidential election, which she, like many Iranians, considered fraudulent. According to Mr. Macqueen, his sources told him, “Neda attended virtually every demonstration – some with her mother, some even with Caspian.”

Mr. Makan, who was imprisoned after speaking out about the killing of Ms. Agha-Soltan, recently fled Iran and spoke to Mr. Macqueen at an undisclosed location.

Last week, a college at Oxford University defended its decision to award the first Neda Agha-Soltan Graduate Scholarship in philosophy, over protests from Iran’s government. The Web site of Queen’s College, Oxford announced the award:
