A revealing bit of research on a subject usually kept from the public eye. Quite engaging, with a good amount of direct testimony. Has the character of a group interview. The subjects all have direct personal experience with the topic, which is a good part of why i like the piece.
It did a good job of putting me in one of those cells for a little while.
