A gripping BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of the 1970s Iranian Revolution.
Something is coming. What is on the horizon for the people of Iran? Can America’s friendship with Iran survive? From Jimmy Carter’s optimistic visit to Tehran in December 1977 to the trial of the state’s enemies in 1979, this nine-part drama tells the story of the Iranian Revolution, where protestors took to the streets in support of the exiled religious leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, and the Shah requested help from an America already torn apart by its own conflicts.
In a time of hope, of tyranny, of change, of oppression, in a tale of power, betrayal and fear, this true story will transport you to the 1970s, when the Iranian Revolution would change the world—forever.
Featuring Dame Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones, All Creatures Great and Small), Bijan Daneshmand (The Night Manager, The Boy from Aleppo that Painted the War) and Carolyn Pickles (Broadchurch, Land Girls).
