Steve W A brilliant documentary, best of the last couple years. Crafted by Taghi Amirani and Walter Murch - Three time Academy Award winner. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Dull. The movie tries desperately to be sensational, but contains very little new or original Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very comprehensive coverage of the 1953 coupe in Iran. It could answer my question and curiosity about what exactly happened back then. Nice work! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant movie about a very sensitive subject. As a long time researcher about the 1953 coup, I didn't expect to be surprised at all, but this movie brought up so much testimony and archival evidence that it belongs in a whole different category of documentary. I was reminded of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003). The depth of description of the crucial months and years leading up, during and after the coup is really remarkable. I learned tons. I really can't say enough about this movie. If you have the chance, watch it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member What a timely reminder of the perils of meddling, especially with a cynical, mercenary and racist intent. The pace and tension of this film build beautifully, no small feat when you consider the reams and reams of paper-based detective work that lie at its heart. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An absolutely essential watch, superbly done. Highly recommend this movie to those who want to understand a great part of the true underlying reasons for the belligerent dynamics of the world today.
