★★★ · Iran, before the Ayotollah. · Spuzz · 2003-09-03

Very nice looking film that is a gorgeous tableu of Iran, before all the political turmoil broke out. We cover the religious history, the art, the natural history, town living, city living, the resources, and many other interestings facts about this Muslim country. Pretty interesting.

★★★ · where's the beef?!! · sandstorm · 2003-11-30

I watch this piece and see some interesting facts, but wonder why it was named as it was since it does not talk at all about the actual coup of Iran's leader Mossadegh and his role in Iran's turn of events. The book "All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror" is great and fills in these most important recent events which have shaped today's Iran and Middle East. Let's all thanks the good ole foreign policy of our Western Democracies. You love 'em living here, but can't stand them abroad.
