In January 1980, on a small island off Panama, David Frost interviewed a dying king. The Shah of Iran made one wager — that history would judge him in less than fifty years — and wrote one prophecy: "a reign of terror and stupidity." This is what the West said about him, what it said about Khomeini, and what actually happened. Part 1 — The Wager. Follow for Part 2 — The King the West Came To. Some scenes are cinematic reconstructions of documented events. All quotes, dates, and sources are historically verified. #history #iran #shah #shorts #documentary
