Interrogation room is a 13-part drama series built around the intense psychological drama that takes place in the interrogation room of a Cape Town police station. Interrogation room is about people. It explores the emotional impact that crime has on its victims and on the police themselves.
The interrogation room is where lies are told, the truth is revealed and crimes are solved. It’s a battle of wills between cop and suspect. Are they guilty or are they innocent? Are they lying or telling the truth? Who are they trying to protect? Why are they afraid? Captain Thandiswa Skweyiya has the skills, the toughness and the charm to get the information she needs.
The interrogation room is where Thandiswa seeks the truth, no matter how awful. Her singular focus is to make the streets of Cape Town safe for the honest, hard-working people who call South Africa’s Mother City their home. Her dedication has earned Thandiswa respect and she gets promoted to second in command. The cops who work there are a family, but it hasn’t always been like this. Tensions remain, but in her quest for the truth Thandiswa rejects the tactics of the past.
Her interrogation room is a place of psychological insight and intellectual intrigue, not a place of torture and fear. Some of her cops, however, have different views and Thandiswa must struggle to keep them under control.
