Synopsis by Tana Hobart
Done in a documentary style by Sybille Schonemann, this is the story of her retracing of the steps which led her to prison as a political prisoner. Using the actual people involved in her imprisonment and doing some journalistic investigation of her own, she is able to show that no one is safe from a dictatorship. Although not physically tortured or abused and only imprisoned for a short period of time, her outrage at the abuse of her rights is a point well taken.
