Plot
In the tumultuous year of 1979, the Iranian Revolution flares into existence, throwing the nation into chaos. Caught in the fiery bedlam, the US Embassy falls into the hands of vigorous militants, its staff held captive. Amidst this pandemonium, six diplomatic personnel manage to evade capture and take shelter under the protective wing of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor and his team. This historical documentary unveils the thrilling narrative of this crisis through the lens of those who lived it, placing Canada at the very heart of an international enigma that shattered all traditional comprehension. As the situation spirals, the Canadian government, aided by the CIA, constructs an audacious scheme to smuggle the escapees out, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak chapter of American history. "Our Man in Tehran" is an enthralling account of courage, diplomacy, and ingenious subterfuge during a time of profound geopolitical upheaval.
