The Iran-Iraq War ( 4 x 60' )

This powerful and gripping series examines the course of the Iran-Iraq War over eight long years, the unprecedented slaughter on both sides of the conflict and the damaging legacy it has left on the region. Iraqi and Iranian soldiers who fought in war – the longest conventional conflict of the 20th century – tell their remarkable stories for the first time on television.

Supported by the leading scholar on this subject – French historian Pierre Razoux – this landmark series is the first ever to reveal the full story of the Iran-Iraq war – a conflict which consolidated the Islamic Revolution and its foreign policy, and led Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait, triggering three decades of chaos in the region.
