Summary: Inflicting pain and suffering on another human being reflects the brutality of torture. Part 2 of our show looks even closer at the physical and psychological consequences of persistent pain on survivors. Sharing her experience as a survivor of torture by the government of Iran, Marina Nemat has written two best-selling books about her experiences– Prisoner of Tehran and After Tehran: A Life Reclaimed. Now making her home in Canada with her family, she has been a guest speaker in support of torture survivors at many universities and conferences around the world. Dr. Ramin Asgary of the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine shares his in-depth understanding of this dark phenomenon, and guides us through efforts to heal survivors of torture.
