Zero Degree Turn

Synopsis

Zero Degree Turn or Zero Degree Latitude (Persian: مدار صفر درجه Madâr-e sefr darajeh) is a 2007 television series, made through the cooperation of Iran, Hungary, France, and Lebanon. The program was one of the most expensive and elaborate ever produced by Iran and attracted a large audience there. It is inspired by a real-life story about Iranian diplomat Abdol Hossein Sardari, who saved Jews in 1940s Paris during the Nazi Occupation by giving out Iranian passports and allowing them refuge in the Iranian Embassy. It has been noted that neither character names nor the story are close to Sardari's story.
