The film brings to light with historical facts how the organization targeted business owners and ordinary citizens under the guise of a “revolutionary tax.”

Witness testimonies and archival footage in the film reflect the severe wounds inflicted by terror on the human psyche. In particular, the accounts of former hostages directly convey to the viewer how inhumane the conditions of kidnapping and isolation were.
