How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A politically charged interrogation thriller that uses one man's torture as a lens to examine state violence, guerrilla resistance, and the moral compromises of counterinsurgency. Deliberately constructed and unflinching.
