Coup 53

Coup 53 is a 2019 British documentary about the 1953 Iranian coup d'état to overthrow Iranian prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. Directed by Taghi Amirani and edited by Walter Murch, the film follows the Iranian filmmaker as he uncovers evidence of the plot hatched by British and US intelligence, led by the CIA's Kermit Roosevelt Jr. Central to the documentary is a series of clips in which actor Ralph Fiennes reads from a transcript of an interview with MI6 agent Norman Darbyshire, who admitted to plotting the coup (codenamed "Operation Ajax") together with the CIA.
