Armed only with handheld cameras, these brave reporters risked arrest, torture, and execution to capture footage that would reach the outside world. Directed by Anders Østergaard, the film weaves together smuggled videos, narration, and interviews, providing an unprecedented inside view of life under dictatorship and the courage of those who defied it.
