Hollywood has been clearly partial towards European & Egyptian history by making countless Greek, Roman, Troy, Vikings, Saxon, Carthaginian, Germanic, and Egyptian historical movies and documentaries, but not a single movie about ancient Persia. They don't even make a movie about emperor Cyrus the great's victory over Babylon because they will have to show what a just and compassionate ruler he was, putting all other European and Egyptian rulers to shame. They would also have to admit how emperor Cyrus the great freed the Jews from Babylonian captivity and allowed them to return to Israel where they rebuilt their temple.
It is very unfortunate that nobody in Hollywood has the guts to bring this beautiful part history to light.
This is the only American (or Western) television documentary that highlighted the glory of Persia. Peter Weller (RoboCop) did a fabulous job. A just watch for everyone especially Western audiences who have no knowledge about ancient Persia.
