A nursing home aide
from Africa. An actor from
Colombia. A U.S. Navy

Their lives irrevocably changed, four torture survivors share their personal accounts in the new human rights documentary Beneath the Blindfold.
Co-directed by independent filmmakers Ines Sommer and Kathy Berger, Beneath the Blindfold follows these courageous survivors in their daily lives thereby allowing viewers to witness the long-term impact that torture has had on them individually, their families, and their communities. Beneath the Blindfold sensitively paints a holistic portrait of the survivors’ experiences, path to healing and life after torture.
