Your Neigbour’s Son - the making of torturer
From 1967 till 1974 Greece was ruled by a junta regime who carried out torture on political prisoners. Those who did the dirty job were conscripts who had been given a brutal training for two months, but after that a blue MP cap and privileges, especially when they had had a prisoner break down. Prime interviewees Michaelis Petrou, former conscript, and Anastasios Minis, former war hero and general, give a deep understanding of the mechanisms of totalitarian regimes.
