Roxana Saberi, author of Between Two Worlds: My Life and Captivity in Iran, is an Iranian-American journalist who was working as a freelance journalist in Iran when she was arrested and detained in Evin Prison in January 2009. She was released 100 days later, after her case captured the world’s attention. Saberi is now writing and speaking out for human rights and “prisoners of conscience” in Iran. Her book tells the story of her arrest and captivity, shares the struggles and courage of her cellmates that inspired her along the way, and describes her personal journey as she strives to defy her captors and be true to herself, regardless of the consequences.
As part of Facing History’s national series of Community Conversations, this event is free and open to the public. A limited quantity of Between Two Worlds will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Seating is limited. Please call Leslie Vanelli at 901-452-1776 ext. 222 with questions.
