Synopsis

Synopsis

A documentary about the present times of war: Five people, five opinions, five viewpoints.
The common link: A plea for humanity. Bringing these people together on screen, we ask them the questions everybody is struggling to answer and in turn try to raise the consciousness of everybody who watches them speak.
There is no judgement here, no right or wrong, only opinions and the need to see a better world without terrorism and the war against it.

I lived in a cult for ten years. The cult leader controlled my life and dictated my thoughts, feelings and actions.
Why did this happen to me? Why was it so difficult to break free? To try to understand these questions I went on a journey of self-discovery and spoke to experts and ex-members who suffered similar experiences.

Whilst the difficulty of understanding “why?” can never be fully resolved, the film offers a truly exceptional story of a personal struggle against one's past and the people in whom we place our trust. It is a film about the indomitable human soul.
