In the late 1970s, journalist Elías Barahona, AKA “El Topo”, infiltrated the military government as head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ press office. Barahona put his life on the line every day to save dozens of dissidents from the regime. In 2014, El Topo decides to break decades of silence to testify in a state trial.
