"You want people to feel the reality of the absurdity of these kinds of Kafka-esque regimes." Director and TV presenter Jon Stewart and journalist Maziar Bahari discuss the making of Rosewater (2014), their film about the 188 days Bahari was detained in Iran following the country’s 2009 elections. The pair reflect on the film’s themes of freedom, the changing media landscape and democracy while sharing insights into its production.
