6 days is a taut thriller telling the incredible true story of six days of terror after six heavily-armed gunmen invaded the Iranian Embassy in Londons Princes Gate on April 30, 1980, taking 26 people hostage. Negotiators, police, politicians and the military wrestle over the correct response, all observed by some the world’s first live TV news coverage. (Transmission Films)
