Texto en solapa: La pesadilla de Mana Neyestani empieza en 2006, el día en que dibuja una conversación entre un niño y una cucaracha en el suplemento infantil de un semanario iraní. El problema está en que la cucaracha dibujada por Mana utiliza una palabra azerí. Los azerís, pueblo de origen turco residentes en el norte de Irán, están desde hace mucho tiempo oprimidos por el régimen central. Para algunos de ellos, el dibujo de Mana es la gota que colma el vaso y un pretexto perfecto para provocar una revuelta. El régimen de Teherán necesita un chivo expiatorio, y éste será Mana.

Mana origins date back to a band called Sombrero Verde. In 1975 they decided to get together to play different songs from groups they admired, including The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Police, among others. They were originally known as The Spies of the Green Hat, but soon the name was shortened to Green Hat and was eventually adapted into Spanish as Sombrero Verde, as the band wanted to rock in their own language. They were one of the first groups to venture out, composing their own songs even though rock in Spanish was not yet a trend.
