BENEATH THE BLINDFOLD

Thursday, November 14, 7:00pm

All Saints Episcopal Church

4550 N. Hermitage, Chicago, IL 60640

Co-directed by local filmmakers Kathy Berger and Ines Sommer, Beneath the Blindfold follows four torture survivors who hail from different parts of the globe, but are now among the more than 500,000 survivors who live in the U.S.  In a time when fictionalized accounts in Hollywood films like Zero Dark Thirty dominate the public’s understanding of torture, Beneath the Blindfold reveals the reality of life after torture. These four survivors face the psychological and physical fallout from their experience, while going through the daunting steps of building new lives, careers, and relationships. Beneath the Blindfold takes an unflinching look at the consequences of torture through the eyes of survivors while celebrating their ability to regain agency and hope. 

 

The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Kathy Berger and Matilde de la Sierra, Jim Manzardo and Mario Venegas whose stories are featured in the film.

 

 Tickets: $10 suggested donation.

 

2.5 CEUs available for LCSWs and LCPCs.  $25 for admission and CEUs.
