What happens

Infidel is a 2020 American political thriller written, directed, and produced by Cyrus Nowrasteh and starring Jim Caviezel, Claudia Karvan, Hal Ozsan, Stelio Savante, Aly Kassem, Bijan Daneshmand, and Isabelle Adriani. The film's executive producer is Dinesh D'Souza, who aided the film with his production company D'Souza Media. It is the second collaboration between Nowrasteh and Caviezel, following The Stoning of Soraya M. (2008). Both films deal with corruption and human rights abuses by the Iranian regime, and center on foreign journalists (played by Caviezel) whose rights are infringed upon and violated by the Iranian antagonists. The film was theatrically released in the United States by Cloudburst Entertainment on September 18, 2020. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
