“ The interrogator tied my hands to the chair, inserted a piece of wood between the back of the chair and the rope, and twisted it. And twisted it. The pain was supposed to be unbearable. I was silent. I tried not to respond. I restrained myself. And then, after a long silence, a horrible wail burst from me.
The audience laughed.
I didn't understand why. Was I such a bad actor? Did my cry sound fake? The late Reuven Morgan, who directed the play—a very special man, who I loved dearly—calmed me down. "Laughter is a typical response to terror. It's well known." ”

“ The film would include many testimonies, so that it would be clear that we are talking about a common phenomenon. If we couldn’t interview the interrogators in each specific instance, we would make do with presenting the cases as described by the subjects of the interrogation, and we would make it perfectly clear that we cannot be sure whether what we are presenting is the entire truth. We did not want the authorities that conducted the interrogations to offer us generalities, whitewashed explanations, or anything that we could not corroborate. ”

“ We tried to corroborate every bit of information. We realized that an enormous responsibility was placed upon us. We rejected testimonies that had the slightest scent of forgery, exaggeration, propaganda, or falsehood about them. ”
