The Origins of Jihad

This political thriller and historical documentary tells the story of the rise of Osama Bin Laden, a young Saudi billionaire, creator of an international terrorist organization: Al Qaeda. His heirs would give birth to the Islamic State group Daesh. From the war in Afghanistan to the execution of Bin Laden in Pakistan, to arrive at the birth of Daesh, this documentary allows us to retrace 40 years of international terrorism to better understand the genesis of the events that shake the news. After several months of investigation in the United States and the Middle East, this new documentary is full of exceptional archive images and first-hand testimonies such as those of the agents of the CIA's Bin Laden cell, the head of the Saudi secret services or former jihadists.
