Terror Attack: Mumbai

Terror Attack: Mumbai

Terror Attack: Mumbai

On 26 November 2008, ten young Pakistani men sailed into Mumbai, India's thriving financial heart, armed with AK47s, grenades and plastic explosives, as well as satellite phones and global positioning systems connecting them to their controllers.

They spread out across the city, killing more than 100 people in just an hour. But this was just the beginning.

Terror Attack: Mumbai brings together candid and personal accounts from the people who were caught up in the siege. Transcripts of phone calls between the gunmen and their commanders, intercepted by Indian intelligence, and CCTV footage from the hotels, give a chilling edge to their stories.

The film also explores the dramatic role that modern communications played: mobile phones, the internet and 24-hour television news gave vital information not just to those in hiding, but to the killers hunting for them.
