In 2009, Iranian Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari was covering Iran's volatile elections for Newsweek. One of the few reporters living in the country with access to US media, he made an appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, in a taped interview with comedian Jason Jones. The interview was intended as satire, but if the Tehran authorities got the joke they didn't like it - and it would quickly came back to haunt Bahari when he was rousted from his family home and thrown into prison.
Tense, claustrophobic tension builds as a journalist navigates the perilous intersection of satire and state surveillance. This unflinching look at political repression captures the terrifying moment a joke turns into a life-threatening liability.
