As I watched the story of Louis “Louie” Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) unfold on the screen in front of me during "Unbroken," all I could think of was that Louie was sharing in the passion of Jesus in a very real way.

Rosewater is based on the true story of Maziar Bahari (Gael Garcia Bernal), an Iranian-born Canadian journalist. In 2009, he traveled to his native Iran to cover the presidential election for Newsweek magazine. While there, he appeared on a segment of The Daily Show interviewed by Jason Jones. That appearance was partially responsible for his arrest and imprisonment for 118 days in Evin prison.
