The "Strange Shadows" music video is a rare peak into Iranians' secretive lives in 1998. The videos were recorded at the end of a decade when even owning a VHS player/recorder was illegal, setting aside men and women mingling and swimming together. The video is a montage of VHS excerpts from family footage depicting families and friends hanging out in secluded spaces such as a private pool or indoors having basic fun activities far away from the Islamist culture forced in public areas. Iranians have always been trying to take back their lives, bodies and embodiments. Hopefully, the current "Women, Life and Freedom" revolution would end the tyranny. There is light on the horizon.
