description from channel on video:

Despite the thirty-year suspension of official relations between Washington and Tehran, many Iranians living in the US still maintain strong ties with their families back home. This year's election also gives them the opportunity to cast their vote. Al Jazeera's Cath Turner's visited the state of Maryland, to get a sense from Iranian-Americans about what Friday's election means to them.

this is going to be an election as important as ours was. if they elect the moderate it may signal a different political dynamic in the middle east. of course a lot depends on the man behind the curtain
