Opis

This is the true story of Aziz BineBine who, unwittingly entangled in a failed coup against King Hassan II, found himself locked in prison thought to be a mere horror story: Tazmamart. Set to become a cult classic of survival literature, Tazmamart is a hellish journey through the abyss of despair - and out the other side.
