FRONTLINE: Our Man in Tehran

Friday 10pm FRONTLINE - Investigative documentary series - OUR MAN IN TEHRAN - In this two-part series, Dutch journalist Thomas Erdbrink documents the people and daily life inside the Islamic Republic of Iran. https://youtu.be/oQ7XbtQ_1_YThis summer, as tensions rise between the United States and Iran, with threats of war and sanctions, FRONTLINE is presenting an unusual and surprising portrait of life inside the Islamic Republic. For 17 years, Thomas Erdbrink has been covering front–page news from inside Iran. Now chief correspondent and Tehran bureau chief for The New York Times, he is one of the last Western journalists living in the country. Over the course of four years beginning in 2014, he was able to get permission to travel with a crew from Dutch television around the country, meeting people and hearing stories about their lives and hopes and fears, in one of the most isolated countries in the world.
