Gael García Bernal is an Imprisoned Iranian Journalist in First ‘Rosewater’ Trailer

Mexican star Gael García Bernal continues choosing politically charged films that are more about making statements than money. In “Rosewater” he plays the Theran-born journalist Maziar Bahari, who described his unjustified detention in Iran (100 days!) in The New York Times best-selling memoir “Then They Came for Me: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survivalj.”

The film -in limited theaters on November 7- marks the directorial debut of comedian, host and activist Jon Stewart.
