On June 20, 2009, in the bloody aftermath of the disputed presidential election in Iran, the killing of a young woman, captured by mobile phone cameras, was declared “iconic.” The footage of Neda Agha-Soltan's death was hailed as citizen journalism. We discuss the image of Neda and its circulation in the Western media by focusing on For Neda, a widely distributed nonfiction narrative, produced by Hbo. We argue that although citizen journalism via viral videos can provide visibility, it is the legacy media that provide the larger narrative, inflecting the narrative with ideological investments. After discussing geopolitical context, we explain Neda's image and For Neda with respect to the narrative of rescuing Muslim women and such rescue in postfeminist terms.
