A devastating portrait of the East German Stasi, the most feared police apparatus in history. Peter Kreup, a victim of the Stasi whose experience fuels his work as a historian, confronts the men who ran the operation, and in doing so fully exposes the inner-workings of the surveillance state. Filmmakers Jamie Silverman and Gabriel Silverman’s (TransMilitary 2018 MSPIFF) jaw-dropping film explores the capacity for fellow countrymen, and family, to turn on each other, and serves as a chilling cautionary tale.
