    Propaganda

    While most of the documentary is a relatively fair (at times inaccurate when comes to medical details) account of what led to Shah's death, the last minute or two sounds like a page from the GOP playbook criticizing Obama's foreign policy. A few sentences about democracy and Trump's future plan in a documentary about Shah's death 40 years ago? Very odd to say the least!
