The CIA’s long and secret conflict against Al Qaeda and their mission to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. The documentary features interviews with key figures involved in the hunt, including CIA operatives, analysts, and military personnel, and provides an in-depth look at the intelligence gathering and decision-making that led to the successful operation in which bin Laden was finally located and killed.

This is a timely investigation into one of today’s most divisive and urgent issues – the menace posed by domestic Islamic extremism and the difficulties of detecting and preventing it.

The documentary, based on Bergen’s book, offers unprecedented access to the inner workings of the group and questions the efficacy of Western counter-terrorism measures. As a former CNN producer, Bergen was among the first Western journalists to meet with bin Laden in 1997.

The documentary chronicles the life and mission of Osama bin Laden, utilizing first-hand accounts from those who knew him best. It depicts bin Laden’s evolution from a reserved, privileged youth to the most sought-after terrorist in the Western world. CNN’s Christiane Amanpour is the correspondent for the two-hour investigation, which is based on Peter Bergen’s book.
