2019 • dir Barbara Kopple • 108 min
Using new archival sources and unprecedented access to key players on both sides, master documentarian Barbara Kopple (Harlan County, USA) reveals the true story behind one of the most daring rescues in modern US history: a secret mission to free the hostages captured during the 1979 Iranian revolution. Treating all involved with respect – even when they contradict each other – Kopple brings us a story that many may know of but few have the full understanding of.
