Maziar Bahari Biography

Maziar Bahari is an Iranian-Canadian journalist, filmmaker, and activist. While reporting on the 2009 Iranian election protests for Newsweek, he was accused of sedition and espionage and imprisoned by the Iranian government for his journalism. Bahari was held for four months before his release following an international campaign, and he continues to be an outspoken advocate for free speech and human rights. His bestselling memoir about his experience, “Then They Came for Me,” was adapted into the feature film “Rosewater,” directed by Jon Stewart.

Bahari is the founder of IranWire, a platform for Iranian citizen journalists, as well as Journalism Is Not a Crime, which documents human rights abuses committed against journalists and provides aid to those who are persecuted. He is also the founder of Education Is Not a Crime, a campaign to draw attention to the government’s denial of the rights of the Baha’is, an Iranian religious minority. Bahari has been internationally recognized for his work in filmmaking, journalism, and human rights advocacy.

Bahari has produced documentaries and news reports for broadcasters around the world including the BBC, Channel 4, HBO, Discovery, Canal+ and NHK. His films include "Paint! No Matter What," "Football, Iranian Style," "And Along Came a Spider," "Mohammed and the Matchmaker," "Targets: Reporters in Iraq," "Greetings from Sadr City," "Online Ayatollah," "The Fall of a Shah," "An Iranian Odyssey," and "To Light a Candle." The International Documentary Film Festival organized a retrospective of his films; he was honored by the ILEX Foundation for Excellence in Iranian Cinema. Bahari has been a jury member of number of international film festivals.

Bahari graduated with a degree in communications from Concordia University in Montreal. He is a board member and president of Journalism for Change, a platform that showcases best practices, forges new networks, and provides a new outlet for citizen journalists.

Maziar Bahari Speaking Topics

ROSEWATER: A FAMILY'S STORY OF LOVE, CAPTIVITY, AND SURVIVAL

In "Rosewater: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival," Maziar Bahari tells the story that was the inspiration for his riveting memoir, Rosewater: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival, and Rosewater, the new film directed by The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart.

On June 21, 2009, just nine days after Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected in a highly contentious election, the Revolutionary Guards arrested award-winning Canadian-Iranian journalist and filmmaker, Maziar Bahari, in his mother’s home in Tehran.

For the next 118 days, he remained imprisoned in Iran’s notorious Evin prison, where he was severely beaten, and accused, among other things, of espionage and plotting a velvet revolution. Then They Came For Me is a riveting, on-the-streets account of the contentious elections, and the tale of a reporter willing to risk everything to tell a story. But it is also a deeply moving personal story about a family profoundly — and brutally — impacted by Iran’s changing regimes. In 1954, Maziar’s father, a Communist, was imprisoned by the Shah’s secret police and spent two years in prison for the crime of belonging to a treasonous organization. Nearly 30 years later, not long after the Shah’s government was overthrown and the Islamic Republic of Iran was created, Maziar’s sister, Maryam, spent six years in prison for her involvement with the Communist party.

Bahari’s personal and family story presents a unique overview of the tortured modern history of Iran and his reporting and analysis of the inner workings of the Islamic government give the audiences an unprecedented insight into the zeitgeist of modern Iran and the men who run it.
