Explores the themes of what sustains a person in the most wretched of circumstances - torture, humiliation, dehumanization. Finds surprising answers in poetry and philosophy, from those who've lived to tell. Questions the double standard of terrorism by a country engaged in daily indiscriminate violence, military and economic, against innocent civilians.
