INSIDE IRAN: WAR & REVOLUTION

Teaming up once again following the BAFTA-nominated Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel's War, Zandland and ITV present a brave, bold and unflinching documentary examining the human and geopolitical dimensions of the recent Iranian uprising and the devastating conflict that followed.

Told from the perspective of an anonymous Iranian journalist operating in one of the most dangerous places in the world to hold that job title, the film features exclusive interviews with grieving families, ordinary citizens and journalists, many speaking to western media for the first time. Their testimonies describe the horrific realities of the January 2026 protests and the war that followed: indiscriminate state-sanctioned killings during mass demonstrations, nationwide internet blackouts, and the terror of being caught between a domestic crackdown and relentless foreign bombardment.

At a time when simply sending a short video out of the country carries the risk of execution, the film pieces together a rare picture from inside Iran, capturing a resilient population pushed to the brink and raising vital questions about authoritarian control, international intervention, and the hidden realities of a nation shielded from public view.
