01 / About The Film

A THRILLER THAT HAPPENS TO BE TRUE

Iranium is not fiction. It is a forensic, cinematic investigation into how the Islamic Republic of Iran — born in the 1979 revolution — built a clandestine nuclear infrastructure while preaching martyrdom, exporting terror and crushing dissent at home.

Through rare archival reels, satellite imagery, defector testimony and footage shot inside Iran, the film connects three fuses: radical ideology, nuclear ambition, and terrorism. Experts from across the political spectrum, dissidents, and human-rights activists lay out what is at stake for Israel, America, Europe and ordinary Iranians.

The title says it all: Iran + Uranium = Iranium. A new element on the periodic table of geopolitics — unstable, volatile, and impossible to ignore.

02 / Synopsis

FROM REVOLUTION TO CENTRIFUGE

1979: The Shah falls. Ayatollah Khomeini returns. American hostages. A theocracy vows to export revolution.

Three decades later, inspectors discover Natanz and Arak. Secret tunnels near Qom. 19,000 centrifuges. Missiles that can reach Berlin. Presidents who deny the Holocaust and promise to wipe Israel off the map.

IRANIUM asks: is Iran's program peaceful energy — or a weapon for an apocalyptic ideology? And who will stop it: sanctions, sabotage, or the Iranian people themselves, who rose in 2009 shouting Where is my vote?

Iranium projector FAQ
What is Iranium about in one sentence?

A 60-minute documentary thriller that traces Iran's nuclear program, radical ideology and human-rights struggle — and asks what the world should do before it's too late.

Is the film biased or balanced?

It has a clear point of view — that a nuclear-armed theocracy is dangerous — but builds it from verifiable footage, IAEA reports and voices across the spectrum, including Iranian dissidents.

Is the 2025 version different from 2011?

Yes. 4K remaster, new epilogue on 60% enrichment, Fordow expansion, October 7 aftermath, and the Women-Life-Freedom protests, plus updated maps.

Can I screen it publicly?

Yes. Educational and community licenses include discussion guide and subtitles. Use the Watch section to request a kit.
