==Synopsis== In 2009, filmmaker Maziar Bahari, a guest of honor at IDFA 2007, claimed he was forced to make a false confession that he had been collaborating with the West and committed espionage. The story is told via the director's voice-over and interviews with other Iranians who have gone through similar experiences of forced confessions.
