Director Jon Stewart of the Comedy Central's The Daily Show once did a satirical bit about Iran’s dictatorship with an Iranian journalist. When the journalist travelled to Iran to cover the rigged Iranian election, the Iranians either through ignorance or revenge arrested the journalist and tortured him to force him to confess that the skit material was real and not a big joke. Getting the guy in trouble, Stewart made this film. It is a good film. Not only does it expose the corrupt and brutal nature of the Iranian regime, it also exposes the fact that in the 1950’s America’s CIA overthrew the democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister and installed a brutal dictator to get decades of cheap oil.
