Jon Stewart makes an impressive directorial debut with a political drama inspired by events in which The Daily Show played a critical role. In June 2009, Iranian Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari (Gael Garcia Bernal) was covering Iran’s election. He was arrested by the Revolutinary Guard on a charge of treason and held in Evin prison. It becomes the mission of Javadi to break his spirit and obtain a confession that he is a spy. Stewart salutes his struggle for survival and the importance of the freedon of the press in a film with the edge of a Costa-Gavras classic and a captivating central performance from Gael Garcia Bernal.
12 Rose Street, Glasgow, G3 6RB.
