Persia, now called Iran, is a fascinating country. It has been a major power since before the foundation of Rome and even since the dawn of civilization. And it still shapes today the politics of the Middle East and Eurasia.

It is also a remarkably durable center of power, always re-emerging no matter how many times it got invaded or conquered.
This documentary will delve deep into where Persia comes from, and what made it so successful and unique among the world's great civilizations.
