2019 Documentary
United Kingdom/Iran
2h
Original language: Persian, English, Italian
The largely forgotten 8/19/53 Anglo-American coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mossadegh and reinstalled the Shah. The film chronicles this government overthrow in unprecedented detail, lifting the veil on some dark secrets buried for 67 years. The roots of Iran's volatile relationship with Britain and America have never been exposed so forensically and dramatically.
