A film about freedom of speech and the messengers of truth that reveals just how much people are willing to sacrifice in order to bring information to the public. The film is a personal encounter with journalists in exile, who were nearly killed for revealing war crimes, corruption and civilian massacres. They claim that the authorities are behind this abuse.

We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
