| Film Details |
ROSEWATER is the directorial debut of Jon Stewart, whose Comedy Central programme, “The Daily Show,” has won 18 Primetime Emmy Awards. This powerful and affecting film tells the true story of London-based Iranian Canadian journalist, Maziar Bahari, who was detained in Iran in 2009 while attempting to cover the presidential election, and is based on the memoir 'Then They Came for Me' by Maziar Bahari and Aimee Molloy.
Maziar Bahari was detained and brutally interrogated at Evin Prison for more than 100 days whilst his pregnant fiancée back in London campaigned tirelessly for his release. Recounting Bahari's efforts to maintain his hope and his sanity in the face of isolation and persecution - through memories of his family, recollections of the music he loves and thoughts of his wife and unborn child - ROSEWATER is both a moving personal story and a tribute to those journalists who risk their freedom, and even their lives, to tell the true stories behind world-changing events.
