A surprisingly moving film, TEHRAN: THE 25TH HOUR provides a look at a moment in Iranian history that may surprise western audiences with its familiarity.

On the 29th of November, 1998, moments after the Iranian National Football Team qualified as the 32nd team in World Cup `98, the usually quiet streets of Tehran were transformed into isles of joy as people united to celebrate their nation's sporting victory. It was one of the happiest days in the life of the modern Iranian nation; a day that would come to be known as "Sweet Saturday."

This video also includes Deadtime and The White Station.
