COUP 53 (2019) @ Cleveland Cinematheque / Valerio's
Details
A film every American should see. This documentary tells the tale of the successful 1953 Anglo-American plot to topple the democratically elected government of Iran whose head, Mohammad Mossadegh, planned to nationalize his country’s oil industry. We are still living with the consequences.
“passionate and fearless... jaw-dropping” – Hollywood Reporter
“as compelling as a John Le Carré novel or a Costa-Gavras classic” – Screen Daily
