The Hamburg Cell | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

In this daring dramatization of events leading up to 9/11, director Antonia Bird ('Face', 'Priest') casts her bold, unblinking lens on the roots of extremism. You meet a small band of middle-class students who commit themselves to the unconscionable: Ziad Jarrah (Karim Saleh), the confused and ultimately duplicitous lover and husband; Mohamed Atta (Kamel), the stern, puritanical enforcer, seething with hate; and Ramzi bin al Shibh (Omar Berdouni), the fanatic recruiter for violent martyrdom.

Based on exhaustive research, including personal interviews, unpublished correspondence, and the official '9/11 Commission Report', the film offers a coldly detached yet unnervingly intimate study of young men who turned themselves into monsters. What?s more, it reveals the many instances when they might have been stopped.
