Shah of Iran - The Last King of Persia Documentary

Shah of Iran - The Last King of Persia Documentary explores the dramatic rise and fall of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the final monarch of the ancient Peacock Throne. This comprehensive historical documentary delves deep into the complex history of modern Iran, tracing the geopolitical shifts from the controversial 1953 CIA coup to the wealth of the oil boom and the rapid modernization of the White Revolution. Discover how a billionaire king wielding absolute power became a ruler in exile. We examine the dark secrets of the SAVAK secret police, the lavish 2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire, and the deep socio-economic divisions that fuelled the 1978 protests. Through rare archival footage and expert analysis, learn the real reasons behind the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini, and the sudden, catastrophic collapse of the Pahlavi dynasty. Was the Last Shah of Iran betrayed by his Western allies, or did his own autocracy seal the fate of the Iranian monarchy? This film uncovers the unspoken truth of a fallen empire that changed Middle Eastern history forever.
