A snapshot of Iran at the build-up to the Iranian revolution, and a meditation on the nature of fear and the psychological causes of revolution. Not strictly journalism, but maybe more of a work of faction. Its not entirely clear if the vignettes based on the collection of photographs are true or imaginary, however these perhaps imaginary scenarios serve to tell us "truths" about the causes of the Iranian Revolution. This is a unique work which although entitled the Shah of Shahs, is an accessible and brief introduction to the Iranian Revolution.
