In this fascinating award-winning documentary, ex-CIA agent Bob Baer traces suicide bombing from its origins on the southern battlefields of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war to the suicidal car bombers of the Lebanon, to the random terror of Jerusalem’s human bomb bus war, and on to the bloody carnage of the July 7th Underground bombings in London.
With extraordinary footage of actual suicide bomb attacks, and riveting interviews with failed suicide bombers and their families, ‘The Cult of the Suicide Bomber’ is the definitive documentary history of the rise of an enemy against whom there is no real defence.
Cult of the Suicide Bomber has been broadcast all over the world and has been nominated for an Emmy and the prestigious British Grierson documentary award.
