Travel writer and TV show host Rick Steves takes you behind the scenes of his documentary Rick Steves' Iran (2009). In an effort to learn more about the Iranian people, Steves set out with a camera crew to explore Iran and share his observations. Steves acknowledges that Iran is not a free society and is a theocracy, but tries to steer clear of the political debates surrounding Iran.


Steves instead focuses on the people he met there and the things they shared with him. He notes the irony that the people most anti-American there are the Iranians who hold up conservative family values, while the same might be true of conservative Americans who oppose Iran. The video contains a slide show of many of the things Steves witnessed. He attempts to humanize the Iranian people through travel and provides many similarities of their behavior to Americans. At the close of the talk, he answers questions mostly about how to travel to Iran.
