A drama based on a memoir by the Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari. Bahari returns to his home country in order to report on the 2009 presidential elections there. When the results lead to public protests, Bahari videotapes the civil unrest. This brings him to the attention of the authorities who apprehend him and keep him in solitary confinement in hopes of getting him to confess his crimes. Very intense movie with acts of violence. Definitely not a travel log for Iran. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. I give it an 8. Bahari is played by Gael Garcia Bernal.
