Italian director and producer Michela Scolari has acquired global rights to the story of Yassmin Pucci Pahlavi, granddaughter of the last shah of Iran — and cousin to Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi, who is trying to position himself as a player in Iran’s future — for a new documentary series.

The docuseries, which Scolari is directing, has begun filming, including at the Cannes Film Festival where the production is capturing a reunion between princess Yassmin and her cousin Cyrus Pahlavi.
