Exiles from the Iranian revolution talk to British-Iranian writer David Mattin about leaving their homeland and family behind to make a new life in Britain.
David discovers how a generation that has grown up both British and Iranian has coped with its dual identity. Including an interview with the son of a political satirist who was unable to return to Iran. He recalls a time when Scotland Yard warned his father that he was a target for assassination and regrets the rifts that the revolution caused among the Iranian community in Britain.
