Director: Manoto TV
37 Rooz is a 2023, 78-minute Manoto TV documentary examining the brief premiership of Shapour Bakhtiar, the last prime minister appointed under the Shah, and it streams in Persian on K-Time.
What is 37 Rooz ManoTV about?
The film traces the political turmoil of late-1970s Iran through the narrow window of Bakhtiar's tenure, built from archival footage, period reporting, and historical commentary rather than dramatized reenactment. It lays out the sequence of events around his appointment, the pressures bearing on the government at the time, and how quickly the situation shifted around him, without dramatizing or speculating beyond the documented record. The title refers to the short span the film covers, and the program treats that stretch of weeks as a hinge point worth examining in detail rather than a footnote.
Cast & crew
37 Rooz is credited to Manoto TV's production and research team rather than a billed cast, drawing on archival material and historical interviews compiled by the network. K-Time's catalog data does not list individual on-screen presenters or narrators for this title.
Context & significance
Manoto TV has built a body of historical documentary programming aimed at explaining twentieth-century Iranian political history to a diaspora audience, much of which grew up abroad without direct access to that period's domestic coverage. A focused, dates-and-events account of a short but consequential premiership fits that pattern, offering context rather than argument for viewers piecing together their own family or national history. Titles like this one sit alongside the network's other archival programs, giving newer generations a way to encounter the period through primary footage rather than secondhand summary.
