SYNOPSIS

In 1951, the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas travelled Iran on an assignment to write a propaganda film for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Combining archival photographs with Thomas's lyrical account (performed in voiceover by actor Michael Sheen), this documentary follows the poet's journey, capturing his haunting vision of oil and modernity, as a political upheaval for oil nationalisation unfolds.
