Sarah Shourd, American released from Iran, writes music video for remaining imprisoned hikers

We've been following the story of the three American hikers detained in Iran for over a year now, as their friends and family have used video to raise awareness for their captivity. When one of the hikers, Sarah Shourd, was released a few months ago, members of freethehikers.org posed a question to President Clinton in our YouTube interview about what needs to happen to release her two fellow hikers, Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer. Now Sarah has produced a music video, with lyrics she wrote in prison, to raise awareness for their captivity. You can buy the song directly from Amazon, the proceeds will go to funding the advocacy work of freethehikers.org.



And here's more background on Sarah, Shane, and Josh's story:

The video is SOOOOOO awkward with the faces she makes. I cringe watching it. I feel like Saturday night live needs to turn this into a skit...

On the other hand it's really heartbreaking that those boys are still in prison, but thats what hippies get when they think everyone is friendly in a war zone. Plain stupidity. They probably thought they were so much smarter and cultured than everyone else, but hard reality check - not everyone wants to make peace.
