Part 1: Iran’s Stolen Democracy: The 1953 CIA Coup | All the Shah’s Men

Based on Stephen Kinzer’s All the Shah’s Men, this video explores the 1953 CIA- and MI6-backed coup that overthrew Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. We examine how foreign intervention restored the Shah, crushed democratic aspirations, and set the stage for decades of authoritarian rule, unrest, and the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Through archival footage, maps, and portraits of Mossadegh and Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, we trace the origins of modern Iran’s political struggles and the enduring consequences of the 1953 coup.
