You'd have to understand
the types of questions, the insistency,
the repetition of it. They psychologically were
breaking these people down. They would
repeatedly ask questions, like the same questions,
the degrading questions, over and over and over again, and it wouldn't be just
for one day, it would be for multiple days, continuously,
and if you put yourself in any foot of an 18,
20-year-old, 25-year-old person, if you just imagine
pulling one off the street today and sticking them
into a small room, I think, and doing that to them, I think,
we would call it torture today

Movie Summary
Some softened by age and sadness, others loud and angry, the voices of the survivors of Canada’s public service homosexual purge are now united, and determined. They are torqued by decades of silence, years of being ignored. They demand justice, and they want to be heard. Theirs is a story of betrayal that is both national and deeply personal. Men and women who dedicated their lives to public service, some signing oaths of allegiance and servitude; casualties of a political tapestry woven in the fibers of acute security measures that somehow became normalized.
