Film: Rosewater, directed by Jon Stewart
May 18, 2016
Amnesty International Toronto's Group 18, Iran Action Circle and Film Team invite you to the screening of Rosewater, the feature-film writing and directing debut of former "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart. Based on the thrilling true-life story of Maziar Bahari, Rosewater follows the Tehran-born, Canadian-based Bahari as the journalist returns to Iran to interview Mir-Hossein Mousavi, challenger to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the country's contentious 2009 presidential election. As Mousavi's supporters were protesting Ahmadinejad's victory declaration even before the polls closed, Bahari was arrested by police led by a man known only as "Rosewater."
