"The Road to Terror" features firsthand accounts from revolutionaries now living in exile in Paris. As the city prepares to celebrate the anniversary of the 1978 Iranian revolution, they recount how their initial hopes transformed into a terrifying reality of violence and executions. From their perspective, the Iranian revolution's struggle for power mirrors the patterns of historical revolutions, echoing the path from liberation to repression seen in past upheavals, like the French Revolution two centuries prior – the road to terror.
