Decadence and Downfall: The Shah of Iran's Ultimate Party
In 1971, the Shah of Iran, the self-proclaimed 'king of kings', celebrated 2,500 years of the Persian monarchy by throwing the greatest party in history. Every party leaves a few hangovers. This one left a country reeling, never to recover. It crystallised the opposition, led by the Ayatollah Khomeini. More than any other event, this party marked the break between the king of kings and the people of Iran he reigned over. (bbc.co.uk)

With so much footage of the shah and about the event it placed too much 'great man theory' weight on him for my liking. So much it seemed to suggest that doing the circuses but forgetting the bread actually caused the revolution. Shame, as better understanding was clearly there, evident in the summing up earlier in the film. Guess you gotta use the footage you got.
