Program Description:
Travel expert Rick Steves calls Iran "the most poorly understood yet fascinating land" he has ever visited. In RICK STEVES’ IRAN, Rick journeys to Iran in the hopes of getting to know this ancient country — a leader in its corner of the world for more than 2500 years — and to better understand the 70 million people living there.
Rick Steves is the best-selling author of more than 30 European travel books, including the definitive guidebook Europe Through the Back Door. His award-winning series, Rick Steves’ Europe, is one of the most popular travel series on American public television.
Shot in Tehran, Shiraz, Esfahan, Persepolis and villages in between, RICK STEVES’ IRAN provides a present-day look at some of civilization's most important historical sites, as well as a sense of Iran's 21st-century culture. From architecture and art to faith and everyday living, it is a rare, candid, and humanizing look at a powerful and perplexing nation.
Produced by Back Door Productions, 2008.
