Award-winning filmmaker Ben Zand's documentary Inside Iran: War and Revolution offers an unflinching look at recent events in Iran through extraordinary footage and personal accounts. Produced for ITV's BAFTA-winning Exposure strand, the film pieces together what unfolded as protests against the Islamic Republic encountered internet shutdowns and severe state repression, eventually escalating into international military conflict.
The film centres on courageous Iranian journalists and citizens documenting events at considerable personal risk. Their testimonies - many given anonymously - provide rare perspective beyond official narratives, revealing how ordinary people navigate both authoritarian control at home and the devastating impact of external military strikes. Following the screening, take part in a Q&A with the filmmaker to explore the themes and stories featured.
