Rosewater
Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian journalist working for Newsweek in 2009, was reporting on Iran's tumultuous elections at the time. He appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in a filmed interview with comedian Jason Jones, one of the few reporters in the country with access to US media. The interview was meant to be satire, but if the Tehran authorities got the joke, they didn't like it, and Bahari would soon pay for it when he was taken from his family home and put in prison. Jon Stewart, in his first job as a director, tells the story of Bahari's months-long imprisonment and interrogation in this powerful and moving docudrama. Gael Garca Bernal gives a powerful performance as Bahari, who tries to keep his hope and sanity in the face of isolation and persecution by remembering his family, thinking about the music he loves, and thinking about his wife and unborn child.
