The Road to Terror

In The Road to Terror, activists explain how their dream of revolution in Iran descended into a nightmare of terror and execution. Many speak as political exiles in Paris, a city that is preparing to look back on its own mass revolution of 1978. Back in Iran, behind the historical images, the struggle for power during the Iranian revolution followed a pattern uncannily similar to many of the great revolutions of the past. Just as 200 years ago in France, the Iranian revolution has gone down the old road from liberation to repression–the road to terror.
