A real-life cliff-hanger thriller, this daring documentary dissects the 1953 British-American coup that brought down Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh in order to prop up the reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In a transparent grab for control of Iran’s oil industry, which had been nationalized under Mossadegh, Eisenhower, and Churchill set the stage for the long and treacherous slide toward the nation’s 1979 Islamic revolution. Utilizing archival footage, interviews, and newly unearthed and reconstituted transcripts, director Amirani weaves a gripping tale of spies, turncoats, secret negotiations, and suppressed documents, honing in on the mystery of a missing tell-all ITV interview with British M16 secret agent Norman Darbyshire, in which Britain’s role in the coup is for the first time substantiated.
