Just gives you a great perspective and scope of the whole event. I never knew about this story until the film Argo came out and that's a damn shame. This documentary should be shown in Canadian high schools.

I will watch this this weekend.
Thanks

Some of Taylor's exploits in Iran in 1979 later became the subject of the 2012 Hollywood film, Argo. But Taylor and others, including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, felt the film downplayed his role and that of Canada in the operation.

Good to know Carter didn't revise history like the film did.
