OR PARTIES AND EVEN CULTS.IT MIGHT HAPPEN IN SPORTS,INCLUDING BREAK DANCING,BORN IN 70'S BY B BOYS.IT CAN HAPPEN TO BREAK THE EARTH AND HER INHABITANTS.SO THIS MOSTLY INAUSPICIOUS BAND OF PHYSICAL OR IDEAS ,STANDING FACE TO FACE,COULD BE A MATTER OF CONCERNS FOR INTELLECTUALS AND CREATIVE ARTISTS.IT WAS AND IT IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH DURING HISTORY AND IN OUR TIME.
"AT A TIME WHEN LIVES ARE BEING LOST ON A MASSIVE SCALE AND UNSPEAKABLE DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO THE WORLD,IT IS DISHEARTENING TO SEE A GENERATION OF MEDIA MAKES RELATIVELY UNMOVED BY THE ACTION OF THEIR GOVERNMENT."
THAT IS HOW JUSTIN MASHOUF,DIRECTOR OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL,SEMI DOCUMENTARY,SEMI FEATURE FILM OF WARRING FACTION,STARTS HIS CHALLENGING STATEMENT.HE GOES ON..."AT THE SAME TIME,MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE SPENT FOR PROPAGANDA MANUFACTURING CONSENT FOR WAR."

MASHOUF'S WARRING FACTION SARTS WITH PALPITATIONS AND PRAYER,EVEN IN PRELIFE ULTRASOUND MODE.THEN THERE IS A PARTY OF BREAK DANCING AND A SHOW OF SKYFEST WHICH IS CALLED: FUN.IT IS A LOT OF FUN TO SAVE CIVILIZATION AND PARTICULARLY WESTERN CIVILIZATION,SO FREEDOM IS THE MAJOR TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION HERE,AND QUESTIONS AND ANSWES,AS WELL.CIVILIZATION IS ALSO DISCUSSED DURING MASHOUF'S FIVE WEEKS TRAVEL TO IRAN,FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE TO DENY THAT THEY ARE INVOLVED IN HATE AND SEEK GAME.FATTAHI OF ZURKHANEH,THE TRADITIONAL PERSIAN GYM ,SAYS:
AMERICANS THINK WE ONLY HAVE HISTORY.
AND BAKHSHI"BATTLLE",THE BREAK DANCER INSISTS THAT:
WE ARE NOT A BUNCH OF TERRORISTS...WE ARE IN IRAN.THIS IS IRAN.WE ARE NOT IN IRAQ OR SOMEWHERE.
MASHOUF IN DIFFERENT SEQUENCES,AT TIME WITH A TOURISTIC VALUES,TAKES US TO THE STREET LIFE, ZURKHANEH,BAZAR AND CHELO KABABI ,AND BREK DANCERS SHOW.
THE IRANIAN BREAK DANCERS ARE CENTER OF ATTENTION IN MASHOUF'S OEUVRE,WHO HIMSELF IS AN AVID BREAK DANCER AND I NEVER FORGET HIS DANCE IN A FRIEND'S HOUSE IN LAJOLA OF SAN DIEGO,WHEN HE WAS SO LITTLE, AND ENTERATAINED EVERYONE IN THE PARTY.HE IS ENTERTAINING THE IRANIAN BREAK DANCERS NOW,SOMEWHERE AROUND 600-700 OF THEM IN TEHRAN,AND SOME MORE FROM MASHAD,ESFEHAN AND OTHER REGIONS,IN A SERIOUS COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHERS.APPARENTLY THE SPORT CAPACITY OF THIS ART ALLOWS THEM TO BE INVOLVED IN A NATIONAL RIVALRY AND COMPETITION.
ZURKHANEH AND ITS HISTORY,AS A WARRING FACTION IS DISCUSSED IN MASHOUF'S MOVIE TOO.THIS IS AN UNDERGROUND SPORT OF ARABS INVASION ERA,AND THAT IS WHY THE EQUIPMENT IS SIMILAR TO BATTLE FIELD ARMS,LIKE MIL
(GORZ OR CLUB),KABADEH(KAMAN OR BOW),TAKHTEH SHENA( SPEAR OR BOARD),
AND ALSO CHARKH OR SPINNING TO MAKE THE WARRIOR INSPIRED AND READY FOR WAR.THE TRADITION OF ZURKHANEH IS NOT LIMITED TO PHYSICAL STRENGHT,AS THE NAME SHOWS,BUT ALSO IS A STRONG BACKGROUND OF BRAVERY,MODESTY AND HUMILITY,MORALITY AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE,AS WELL AS PREPREDNESS FOR WAR AND DEFENCE.
IN WARRING FACTION,PEOPLE,YOUNG AND OLD DISCUSS THIS PREPAREDNESS AT THE TIME OF CRISIS.THEY REMEMBER IRAN- IRAQ LONG WAR IN 1980'S AND THIS IS TAKING US TO BEHESHT ZAHRA,THE NATIONAL CEMETERY IN SOUTH OF TEHRAN,AND AMONG THE GRAVES OF WAR VETERANS AND THEIR MOURNERS.
INTERVIEW BY SECURITY AUTHORITY IN ATLANTA AIRPORT COMPOSES THE FINAL SEQUENCE OF MASHOUF'S MOVIE,WHO LOST HIS TAPES,NOTES AND 15 HOURS OF FILM FOOTAGE,BUT RECIEVED THEM LATER,AS IT WAS BASICALLY CONSIDERED INNOCENT AND ONLY MATERIALS FOR THIS FEATURE LENGHT DOCUMENTARY.
JUSTIN MASHOUF,DIRECTOR OF WARRING FACTION,BELIEVES THAT AS FORCES
IN MEDIA AND GOVERNMENT ARE FUELING A NEW WAR,THIS IS A CALL FOR ARM,OR PLAYFULLY:DISARM.HE IS..."AN AMERICAN BORN IRANIAN BREKDANCER" TO FIND
"CULTURAL AWAKENING BY EXPLORING HIS MULTIETHNIC ROOTS." AS A STUDENT OF UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA,MASHOUF "TRAVELS TO IRAN TO EXAMINE THE POLITICAL ISSUES FIRST HAND WHILE EXPLORING HIS CULTURAL IDENTITY WITH A GROUP OF IRANIAN B BOYS."
WITH GOODWILL OF HIMSELF AND HIS IRANIAN AND AMERICAN PRODUCTION TEAM,MASHOUF MAKES STRONG STATEMENT ARTISTICALLY AND IN SOCIAL CONTEXT.
