This resource from the Carnegie Council on the recent film Argo provides background on the film, questions for discussion, and links to relevant resources. It includes focus on the controversy surrounding the popular film, which often sacrifices adherence to the historical record for conventions of entertainment. Students can thus learn about the hostage crisis and the efforts to free the hostages in hiding at the Canadian embassy both through and against an entertaining film. >
