SOCRATES: Why Did He Choose Death Instead of Silence?

In 399 BC, a 70-year-old philosopher was sentenced to death by 500 Athenian citizens. His friends opened the prison door. His escape was arranged. He refused to leave. Why would a man choose death over silence? The trial of Socrates is one of the most haunting events in the ancient world — a confrontation between a single individual and the full power of the state, ending in a cup of poison and a question that has never been fully answered. In this documentary, we trace the full story: the political climate of a city humiliated by war, the trial that shocked the ancient world, and the final days of a man who believed that integrity was worth dying for.
