Exploring Iranian wrestling legend Gholamreza Takhti’s journey in life, death and his legacy. The Iranian wrestler was the people's hero: a multiple gold Olympic medal-winner, who embodied the spirit of Iran. He was well loved, even by those who fought against him.

Then, in January 1968, Takhti was found dead in a Tehran hotel room. He was 37.

Presenter Rana Rahimpour delves into the man behind the myth and sheds a light on the complex relationship between Iran and its heroes. Sport, politics, and power wrestle with each other, as we get to the heart of what it means to be a hero and how we can hold onto them.

Presenter: Rana Rahimpour Producer: Lucy Greenwell Sound design: David Crackles
