Good story but I was a bit disappointed with the storytelling and craft. There are times when it gets a little confused, or maybe I need to watch it again. I don't doubt the facts presented but not confident in how they were presented. Didn't like the animated stuff at all. There are times when it references events that seem completely out of context. I did like how it referenced itself throughout, i.e. watching them (Amirani/Murch) hear new information while in the editing room. Did not like his, Amirani specifically, was recorded hearing new information as though his reaction could be spontaneous. Felt like cheap drama. Important story though. Would love to discover more about Derbyshire and the history of his inclusion in the documentary.    

Just watched this again for the 2nd time and it's amazing the amount of seemingly unanswerable questions that can be answered with regards to the West's/America's/UK's relationship & foreign policy/meddling and the Middle East, and more specifically, Iran. Sadly, the majority of the world will never understand or be allowed to understand these details even though so much previously classified/hidden/deleted information and evidence is presented in this documentary. These plans for the Middle East region go back over 100 years and the current Israeli genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, and the MASSIVE PUSH for war with Iran for the last 20-30 years will make even more sense for those with very little knowledge on the matter of foreign affairs. Anyone with an iota of a brain cell & sincere honesty can string together the "Greater Israel" project now with the aims of the collective West and the Middle East region. As world destabilizers and meddling agents the UK is by far the most notorious and of course serves as the Grand-Daddy of U.S. foreign policy still while the U.S. plays the Dad role expanding on its father's "legacy" through its interfering and proxtly subjects worldwide.

[AtlàntidaFF] Although some conclusions may be exaggerated, it's an engrossing film that benefits from Walter Murch as editor of the vast material used to establish the CIA/MI6 involvement in the 1953 coup in Iran. As a political thriller is reminiscent of films like "The Battle of Algiers" (1966) or "Three Days of the Condor" (1975) and gives it a certain nostalgic tone that contributes to its attractive appearance.

Pretty good movie/Documentary about the overthrow of the Iranian PM and the installation of the Shah. Once again the CIA and MI6 control the world and who gets to govern. 8/10
