In 1979 – when the US Embassy in Tehran was taken over during the Iranian Revolution, six American diplomats managed to escape – and went into hiding under the protection of the Canadians.
The mission to get them back home? It involved the CIA, passports from Canada, and a fake Hollywood movie studio.. This is the story of the Canadian Caper.
