How It Feels

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

A sobering examination of moral compromise conducted through candid interviews with retired intelligence chiefs who grapple with the weight of decades spent managing counterterrorism through ethically fraught methods. The film finds quiet power in letting these architects of security policy confront their own ambiguities without easy answers.
