experiences of Maziar Bahari,
an Iranian-born journalist
working for Newsweek, who
spent 118 days detained by
Iranian authorities, on charges
of espionage.
2. The charges against
Maziar Bahari arose from
his appearance on The Daily
Show, during a segment
reporting on the Iranian
presidential elections of 2009.
3. The title comes from the
name of Bahari's interrogator
and tormentor, a man known
only to Bahari as 'Rosewater'.

thriller is based on Maziar
Bahari's memoir entitled Then
They Came for Me, a treatise
on human rights and seeking
the truth which borrows from
the prescient quote, 'Then
they came for me – and there
was no one left to speak
for me.'
