Dear John,
If you haven’t watched it yet, don’t miss the opportunity to rent a compelling new documentary, Desert One, before our panel discussion later this month. And for a limited time, a portion of the proceeds from rentals made through this special link will go to NIAC!
🎥 Rent the film here >
The film tells the story of Operation Eagle Claw—a covert operation ordered by then U.S. president, Jimmy Carter, to rescue 52 Americans held during the Iran hostage crisis. With interviews from Iranians involved in the embassy seizure and those who witnessed the rescue mission, the film also provides crucial historical context on what led to that fateful day in November. Check out an exclusive clip from the movie below!
We'll also be hosting a special panel discussion on August 31st at 4pm EST with Desert One director Barbara Kopple, Ambassador John Limbert who was one of the 52 Americans held in Tehran, and Captain Ishimoto who served as an intelligence officer for Operation Eagle Claw. At a time of heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, the film presents an opportunity to open up dialogue, understand mutual grievances, and offer a path forward.
🎟️ RSVP for the panel discussion here >
Make sure not to miss out on this important film—and we look forward to a lively discussion!
Best,
