TRUE CRIME

Terrorism Close Calls

10 × 50' (ENG, GER)

This series is a true crime story that uncovers facts behind the world’s deadliest terror plots – that have failed.

The war on terror is always and everywhere. We tell the story of the attacks that have been thwarted or less fatal than planned. With exclusive access to leading counter-terrorism experts and elite agents, we give insight to the investigation that stopped the terror threats. In each episode a planned terrorist attack is documented, which should claim many lives but was prevented by intelligence surveillance, wiretapping, infiltration, covert investigations and sometimes a little luck.
