Ključna beseda Prison Camp

Režiserka z oskarji nagrajenega vojnega trilerja Bombna misija se vrača na območje spopadov, tokrat z osupljivim prikazom ozadja resničnega lova na vodjo teroristov Osamo bin Ladna. Kljub večletnemu neuspešnemu iskanju vodje Al Kaide odločna agentka CIE Maya ne želi vreči puške v koruzo, toda ob iskanju informacij z nečloveškim mučenjem zapornikov se večkrat znajde na robu moralnih dilem. Naposled dobi svežo sled za najbolj iskanim človekom na svetu, vendar mora v pravilnost svojih podatkov najprej prepričati odgovorne, ki lahko odobrijo nepredvidljivo in nevarno vojaško operacijo.

Six young Australians go to war, full of confidence and bravado. They land in Singapore in 1942, just in time for surrender. With 15,000 others, they are marched off to Changi prison camp. Together, the six boys survive three and a half years of incarceration. Almost sixty years later, the six prepare to get together for what may be their last hurrah.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Mao Tsetung established a system of labor camps for systematic repression, known as Laogai, an abbreviation for "Reform Through Labor". In such camps, forced labor and physical and mental torture were used to bring about a so-called mental reform, re-education in the spirit of the Chinese Communist Party. Millions of Chinese were affected. Many were executed. In hundreds of camps, the Party took advantage of the prisoners' free labor to build the economy. Self-criticism and denunciation were often the only way to escape martyrdom. Successive waves of purges culminated in the Cultural Revolution, which saw massive human rights abuses, political assassinations, massacres, and exiles in remote parts of the country. Using unreleased archive footage, the documentary tells the story of the invention, development and improvement of China's totalitarian system of surveillance and repression up to the present day, never told before.
