Where is rosewater being filmed

Maziar Bahari : [narrating] Finally, I was free. But my joy is tempered by those I left behind. People who did not have the advantage of international attention. Country men and women whose only crime against the state is not believing in its perfection. And the acolytes, those without imagination, those who even in my confinement were more alone and afraid than I. Because in their hearts, they know they cannot win.

During the sketch, Bahari called Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , an "idiot". After he was released, Bahari was interviewed on "The Daily Show" by Jon Stewart , who discussed the role that the show had inadvertently played in his imprisonment.
