Rage Against the Regime: Iran is a powerful two‑part BBC documentary that tells the stories of ordinary Iranians who risk everything to stand up to authoritarian rule — from the aftermath of the 2009 election to mass protests sparked by fuel price hikes and women’s demands for freedoms. It mixes harrowing first‑hand testimony with vivid historical context, showing both the brutality of the state’s response and the extraordinary courage of those who resist. (GUARDIAN) “utterly astonishing” for its emotional weight and moral urgency; its depiction of women in the front lines of protest (“Good Girls”) and the persistence of political dissent despite severe repression make it deeply affecting and timely.
