Inside Story

The Road to Terror

Duration: 50 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One CambridgeshireLatest broadcast: on BBC One Yorkshire

Available for years

How can a revolution have come to this? In The Road to Terror, Iranian revolutionaries tell how their dream descended into a nightmare of terror and execution. They speak as exiles in Paris, a city preparing to celebrate the glories of the first mass revolution of 1789. Behind its strange images, the struggle for power in the Iranian revolution has followed a pattern uncannily similar to many of the great revolutions of the past. Just like 200 years ago in France, the Iranian revolution has gone down the old road from liberation to repression, the road to terror. Show less
