What’s the movie about?
The film is about a hostage-taking that began in Iran on November 4, 1979. Within the Islamic Revolution, Iranian students, while occupying the American embassy, detained 52 US diplomats for 444 days.
The scene where the van passes a burning lorry. It is the night before the group are to flee. It is a slow air played on the traditional Irish pipes, the uillean pipes. What is the name of the piece?
I was going to ask that as well, and also the name of the musician.
