I Am Not Alone

Produced: 1956

Length: 26 Minutes

Torture has long been a brutal method for extracting confessions and information from a detainee. Psychological torture is no better than the physical kind and can often break a prisoner quicker. “I Am Not Alone,” documents a former Moscow Prison inmate’s story of survival and through reenactments shows the psychological warfare waged against him in order to get a false confession. At the height of the Cold War, the American narrator condemns the Russian methods implying the United States takes the moral high ground in such matters. Serves as a true story of bravery and a compelling training tool on how to survive a torturous jail.
