Amazing Isfahan – Paradise in the Heart of Iran

Channel: Curiosity Channel (DStv 185)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary

Amazing Isfahan – Paradise in the Heart of Iran

Take a look at this natural beauty: Isfahan – the Florence of Persia, the blue pearl of Iran.

The city in the heart of Iran is the most charismatic city in the country and often uttered in the same breath as Bagdad, Constantinople or Cairo.

The former capital of the Persian Safavid Empire has long since lost the status of cosmopolitan city, but it still radiates a cosmopolitan charm of which the inhabitants are extremely proud.

With its Iranian and Persian national consciousness, Isfahan emits a form of comeliness that attracts people near and far.

Following 30-year-old carpet dealer Shanty as he tries to establish a business for himself and his fiancée Nina, we discover the soul of the city with mesmeric shots, intimate portraits and true to life portrayals of daily life.

For 120 years his family has been dealing with noble Persian carpets, but Shanty dreams of a modern coffee shop, driven by a youthful eagerness to experiment and with passion for the new.

In the cozy little espresso bar on the city's famous Imam Square, Shanty's barista conjures up the best créma in Isfahan while Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin boom from the loudspeakers; nothing new in Berlin or Paris, but almost revolutionary here.

In intimate pictures, we accompany the youngest son of an old Isfahan family through his bulging everyday life and see how many young Iranians try to unite the culture and traditions of their country with the present.

The Game 2

Final season!

A revival series based on the 2006 series of the same name, which relocates from San Diego to Las Vegas and sees new players offering a modern-day examination of Black culture through the prism of pro football.

The team will tackle racism, sexism, classism and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect and love - all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play The Game.

The second season doubles the laughs and heightens the drama as the characters and their relationships fight to survive the storms of change.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Once Upon a Time on Draft Day": We connect our past and present as we travel back to Draft Day 2017. Here, Tasha Mack works to land a flashy contract for her new client, Garret, and ink a deal that'll propel her to mogul status.
