The Rise and Fall of the Shah of Iran

Iran, historically known as Persia in the West, boasts a long history reaching back many thousands of years and hosting many kingdoms and empires. In this documentary we outline the modern period known as the Pahlavis, named after the Pahlavi dynasty, that ruled from 1925 until the Islamic Republic in 1979. This was a time of dramatic change in Iran, an American led coup, the rapid westernisation of culture and industry, and a constitutional monarchy turned dictatorship, are all part of this dramatic story.
