From Tom Needham:

I am so honored to have the opportunity to speak with Two-Time Academy Award Winning Director Barbara Kopple, Producers Eric Forman & David Cassidy, Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Richard “Taco” Sanchez and John Limbert, Diplomat and One of the Iran Hostages.

DESERT ONE re-examines the story of Americans taken hostage by Iranian revolutionaries in 1979. Kopple draws upon never-before-heard audiotapes from the White House, as well as new interviews with hostages, rescuers, Iranians and President Carter, whose 1980 election loss to Ronald Reagan was influenced by this decisive chapter of history.

Worldwide listeners can tune into the SOUNDS OF FILM internet livestream on Thursday at 6 pm EST at wusb.fm.
