While Germany sits as one of the major democratic models, an ex-prisoner of the Stasi delivers a frightening and chilling testimony from his former cell about his experiences in 1968.

Hans-Jochen Scheidler was just 25 years old when he was incarcerated and sent to the Berlin GDR prison for criticizing the harsh repression of the Prague Spring. With a powerful narration from the former prisoner combined with beautiful cinematography and images of the actual prison, this documentary questions the sustainability of our modern democracies.
