Mossadegh - 2007

Directed by Reza Allamehzadeh

A popular stage play detailing three chapters of Mohammad Mossadegh's life is captured on video for the first time. The first act shows Dr. Mossadegh (Nasser Rahmaninejad) as prime minister traveling to The Hague to defend his country's oil nationalization at the World Court. The second act shows Mossadegh's heated and at times comical debates with the inept military prosecutor General Azmoodeh (Hooman Azarkolah) at his trial. The third act depicts Dr. Mossadegh's final days under house arrest at his family home in Ahmad Abad.
