  • It's laughable that all these people interviewed were opposed to the shah's rule are now questioning how gullible they were to believe Khomeini had their best interests.

    It’s a pity the German and Farsi parts are not subtitled. My long ago two years of German studying are far from enough, and don’t know a single word of Farsi. This seems to be a very interesting documentary, but I only can enjoy some 60%. And I suppose many other people will think the same. Besides my mother tongue, Portuguese, I speak French, English, Spanish and understand quite a lot in Italian. I would assume I was skilled enough, but apparently not.

    The Shah wanted beautiful things for Persia and they’d be a leading global nation today if he had been successful, this is a great historical lesson on the pitfalls of religious conservatism.
  • @marcoruggieri9146
    It would be great to have English subtitles for non-English interviews. Can someone translate please?
  • @AaronTV2021
    2500 years???? Oh my god,,big respect for the Persians and the culture,,not many countries has 2500 years kingdom history
  • @jerolvilladolid
    The Iranian monarchy fell because the Shah was unwilling to kill easily. He could have assassinated Khomeini many times. But didnt. He’s similar to Louis XVI of france who could have had the 3rd estate representatives all hanged but hesitated to do so. If you will be an absolute monarch, never think twice about killing your opponents.

    I myself am a Chaldean Assyrian from Iraq but what happened to Iran was sad
  • I live in Bangladesh. I try to study and research about Iran, because the history of Iran is very interesting to me. I want to know a lot about Iran. I want to visit Iran once in my life.
  • @fazbell
    The reluctance of the Shah to kill Khomeini and other Islamic fanatics, was his downfall. In some circumstances, you cannot win by being just and kind.

  • @petrofilmeurope
    I worked in Iran from January 1998 til May 2003 - six years - and have 23 years dialogue with Iran all together on the highest level. You know, talking is easy, it doesn't cost anything. But to go there, to Iran and empathize with them - not criticize - is another matter. The film has excellent and rare pictures. Thank you from Oslo.
  • @bellefleur6300
    This is an interesting documentary. It’s a pity you didn’t bother to translate the other languages before posting.
  • @algrand52
    Iran could've been a 1st world country had the Shah was left to do what he envisioned for the country.
  • @sali3492
