Summary:
"Unfolding like a political thriller,
Taken
Hostage
tells the story of the Iran
hostage
crisis, when 52
American
diplomats, Marines and civilians were held
hostage
at the
American
Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979. For the next 444 days, the world watched as the United States received a daily barrage of humiliation, vitriol and hatred from a country that had long been a close ally. Told through the candid, personal testimony of those whose lives were upended by the action, the crisis would transform both the U.S. and Iran and forever upend the focus and direction of
American
foreign policy. The film is told largely through the lens of the exceptional love story of former
hostage
Barry Rosen and his wife Barbara, who was suddenly thrust into the public eye as the crisis dragged on. Other key figures are Hilary Brown and Carole Jerome, two pioneering female foreign correspondents who risked their lives to uncover the truth of what was happening in Iran; Gary Sick, a senior member of President Carter's national security team and longtime Iran expert; and Colonel James Q. Roberts, a member of the top-secret
American
commando unit, who recounts details of the failed attempt to rescue the hostages in a daring Special Forces operation.
Taken
Hostage
uses their candid, personal testimonies to tell the story of these dramatic, history-making events."--Container.
