Channel 4 has commissioned a new documentary film titled Nazanin, following\u00a0Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and husband Richard over his six-year campaign to free her from detention in Iran.<\/p>\n
The announcement of the \u201cdefinitive exclusive access\u201d film comes two days after the release of Zaghari-Ratcliffe, as she returned to the UK to her husband and daughter on 16th March.<\/p>\n
The film, which will air later this year, promises \u201ca privileged view of the family in London during the final tense, dramatic days, as a specialist British Foreign Office negotiating team in Tehran wrangle with the Revolutionary Guards over the price for her freedom\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first time, we will see the inner workings of this drama through the eyes of those actually caught up in it: Richard Ratcliffe, his young daughter Gabriella \u2013 and from Nazanin herself whilst detained in Iran,\u201d the synopsis reads.<\/p>\n
\u201cNazanin is an intimate access driven documentary \u2013 part love story, part political thriller. It has a human story with a big heart and mixes original, observational filming with never before seen material filmed by Nazanin herself about her ordeal.\u201d<\/p>
In 2016 Zaghari-Ratcliffe was sentenced to five years in jail in Iran for \u201cmembership of organisations working against the Iranian state\u201d \u2013 claims which she has always strongly denied, and her husband Richard has campaigned ever since to secure her freedom and return to the UK.<\/p>\n
The case made national news the following year when then-foreign secretary Boris Johnson was criticised for incorrectly stating that Zaghari-Ratcliffe was \u201csimply teaching people journalism\u201d in Iran prior to her arrest, prompting accusations that it complicated her legal case<\/a>.<\/p>\n Find something to watch with our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
