Les ombres du Bataclan

TARTALOM ISMERTETő

On November 13, 2015, terrorists killed 130 people in several locations in Paris through attacks and suicide bombings. In the Bataclan club, 90 terror victims died. ARTE once again documents the international police investigations on the occasion of the beginning of the trial against the only surviving terrorist Salah Abdeslam and 19 other suspects. The Islamist attacks of November 13, 2015 shook Paris and the rest of the world. The system's weak points that effectively enabled the attacks were investigated in 2016 by a parliamentary study group, finally summarizing its finds in a dossier. Francis Gillery's documentary "Les ombres du Bataclan" is based on this dossier. It details the investigations and the course of events. For this documentary, the director cooperated with Georges Fenech, the former president of the parliamentary study group. Shortly before the beginning of the trial against the Bataclan attackers in September 2021, the documentary details the facts and the context of the attacks and tries to find out, what actions were taken by European politicians and intelligence services as a result of the attacks.
