Music has been banned from Iran since 1979. Despite the ban, there are plenty of bands that exist and are causing a scene in Iran culture. Sounds of Silence is a documentary made in Iran that is concerned with making citizens aware of the extensive censorship that is enforced in Iran, so extensive that music is not even played within the country in fear of being persecuted. This documentary shows that even though music is banned, it still prevails and a vibrant music scene still exists in Iran. This just shows that nothing can stop people from expressing themselves the way they want to.

A ban on music?! What?! That's crazy. I suppose next there will a ban on breathing too loudly.
