What happens
Zahra's Blue Eyes (Persian: جشمهاى آبى زهرا), also titled For You, Palestine, is a Syrian–Iranian television series which premiered in 2004 on Sahar 1. It was created by Ali Derakhshi, a former official of the Iranian Education Ministry. Set in the West Bank, the plot of the series mostly centers around Israeli military and civilians conspiring to steal the eyes of Palestinian children. It was made in Persian but also dubbed into Arabic for further broadcast. In 2006, it was also shown in Turkish in Germany on Milli Görüs’ TV5. In February 2005, the French Broadcasting Authority ordered the French satellite provider Eutelsat to stop transmitting broadcasts from the Iranian satellite TV channel Sahar 1 because of its broadcast of the series. It was distributed as four VCDs by Vakit, a newspaper in Turkey. In 2017, it was televised on Akit TV, a satellite channel in Turkey. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
