Christopher Tuckfield (three times winner at the Dendy Awards) combines dramatised re-enactments and interviews with leading commentators - including Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch; Juan E. Mendez, UN Special Advisor to the Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide - and academics to investigate the use of torture. Compelling interviews with torture survivors, poetry by renowned playwright and novelist Ariel Dorfman and music by Elena Kats-Chernin add to the significant emotional impact of the film. "It bothers me that people begin to justify torture again, but it also bothers me that people try to redefine torture to avoid the prohibition."
