About

A former political prisoner of East Germany's secret police learns his own brother spied on him for the regime.

The documentary follows Peter Keup, a former political prisoner of East Germany's Ministry for State Security. Decades after the Cold War, he makes the disturbing discovery that his own brother was used as an informant by the regime to spy on him for years. In his search for truth and evidence, the film reveals the lasting effects of living in a total surveillance state.
