Join Jon Stewart for a screening of his new film, Rosewater, which chronicles the true story of journalist Maziar Bahari, who was arrested in 2009 while covering the Iranian presidential elections and detained for 118 days in the notorious Evin prison, where he was interrogated and tortured. The Committee to Protect Journalists and other press freedom groups led a campaign to free him and focus global attention on jailed journalists.
The film marks the directorial debut of Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”
Following the screening, Stewart and Bahari will discuss the making of the film, the real-life story that inspired it and the continuing risks journalists face around the world. PBS NewsHour co-anchor Gwen Ifill will moderate the discussion.
Rosewater opens nationwide on Nov. 14.

* Shelby Coffey III, Vice Chairman, Newseum

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
