Since its earliest days, the Iranian regime has relied on forced, televised confessions to humiliate and discredit its opponents and instill fear in its citizens. In FORCED CONFESSIONS, director Maziar Bahari seeks out other writers and intellectuals who-like himself-were tortured and forced falsely make detailed declarations of guilt. (Bahari chronicled his story in the book Then They Came, which forms the basis for Jon Stewart's film ROSEWATER.)
