Rick Steves journeys to Iran in the hopes of getting to know this ancient country — a leader in its corner of the world for 2,500 years — and to better understand the 70 million people living there. Shot in Tehran, Shiraz, Esfahan, Persepolis and villages in between, the program details the country’s rich artistic and cultural heritage. Rick visits the splendid monuments from Iran’s rich and glorious past, discusses the 20th-century story of this perplexing nation and explores Iran’s bustling cities, historic capital and countryside villages. The special vividly captures today’s Persian culture: from Friday prayer in a leading mosque to challenges confronting Iran’s youth, from anti-American murals to the warmth and hospitality of a family dinner, and from the tranquility of rural life to the frenzied traffic of modern Tehran.
Watch Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 10pm on KCPT2. Get Steves’ book and/or CD.
