In 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh became the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran with a promise to nationalize the oil industry, a policy that cost him his post within two years. Digging into this still under-reported but epochal geopolitical turning point, Taghi Amirani and co-writer/editor Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now) come across a fascinating nugget, a scoop-that-never-was, involving an ex-MI6 agent eager to stake his claim to history, TV censorship, and keen-eyed film detective work.
