Teherán, Irán, 19 de agosto de 1953. Un grupo de conspiradores iraníes que, con el beneplácito del depuesto tirano Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, han conspirado con agentes del MI6 británico y de la CIA estadounidense, consiguen poner fin al gobierno democrático liderado por Mohammad Mosaddegh, un dramático hecho que dará inicio a la trágica era de los golpes de estado que, orquestados por la CIA, tendrán lugar, a lo largo de las décadas siguientes, en decenas de países de todo el mundo.
Directed by Taghi Amirani

    Good story but I was a bit disappointed with the storytelling and craft. There are times when it gets a little confused, or maybe I need to watch it again. I don't doubt the facts presented but not confident in how they were presented. Didn't like the animated stuff at all. There are times when it references events that seem completely out of context. I did like how it referenced itself throughout, i.e. watching them (Amirani/Murch) hear new information while in the editing room. Did not like his, Amirani specifically, was recorded hearing new information as though his reaction could be spontaneous. Felt like cheap drama. Important story though. Would love to discover more about Derbyshire and the history of his inclusion in the documentary.
