De kommer alla ihåg dagen de blev arresterade, dagen deras tortyr började. De kommer ihåg de långa, ensamma åren i isoleringsceller bakom de höga murarna i Irans ökända fängelser. Under åren strax efter revolutionen 1979 fick en hel generation av unga människor med en lovande framtid framför sig tyna bort i fängelse. De undrade hur deras revolution kunde gå så fel – kidnappad av präster som trodde att vägen framåt var att gå tillbaka till deras religions föråldrade fundament. Ett starkt vittnesmål om omänskligheterna under den religiösa diktaturen i Iran. En sevärdig och gripande dokumentär. They each remember the day they were arrested, the day their torture began.
They remember the long, lonely years of solitary confinement behind the high walls of Iran’s notorious prisons. In the years shortly after 1979 revolution in Iran an entire generation of bright, young people with promising futures languished and suffered in prisons, enduring physical torture, sensory deprivation and sadism, all in the name of the Islamic Republic.
They wondered how their revolution, that was so well-intentioned had gone so wrong—hi-jacked by clerics who thought the way forward was in going back to the antiquated fundamentals of their religion.
