In the Oscar winning movie ARGO, Ben Affleck immortalizes CIA legend Tony Mendez, who masterminded the escape of six diplomats from revolutionary Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis by dressing them us a Canadian film crew. But by placing the CIA firmly as the heroes, Hollywood overlooks the vital role played by another group in helping coordinate the brilliant escape plan – the Canadians themselves. This is the REAL STORY OF… how a small group of diplomats from Canada risked their lives by housing the escapees in a dangerous city, breaking every rule of diplomacy to help sneak the disguised Americans out of Iran… in broad daylight.
