I think you're right RahmanKhan. It sure looks like Golestan. This documentary may be his work.

I was born in 1952 in Abadan, so I should remember this.  In fact, when I was 5 or 6 YO, I once flew in a small airplane over Abadan with my uncle who was a maintenance worker at Abadan intl. airport and remember exactly the aerial part of the video. What a beautiful city and even more beautiful people.  But I'm not sure if we had color films at that time since all my photos from then are B&W.  Great job Roham!  Do I know you?  tooraj

This was filmed 7 years before I was born there, look different than what I remember. My guess is new Abadan must been only 3 year old then, considering ww2 ended  1945. it's funny Abadan now look like Brit never were there.

How interesting it must be for people who can recognize themselves or a friend as one of the kids. This is great video. Thanks Roham.

You would think I had seen everything about Abadan by now. But thank goodness new stuff from the old days keep popping up. This is really a nice round-up of what the city was like.

Wolek thanks Roham!
