What it’s about. Der Dokumentarfilm schildert in bedrückend eindringlicher Weise den Angriff und dessen Folgen und erfasst minutiös die Schwachstellen und Lücken im Regierungsplan zur Reorganisation und zum Schutz der Bevölkerung. Dabei erweist sich der hypothetische Film als unglaublich realitätsnah. Kein Wunder also, dass die produzierende BBC nach einer internen Vorführung vor Vertretern des Innen- und Verteidigungsministeriums die Ausstrahlung des Films weltweit zum Schutz der Öffentlichkeit unterband…
