Hezbollah, l'enquête interdite

1 Staffeln

Staffel 1

The shadow of Hezbollah hangs over the explosion in the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020, and the investigation looks impossible. As if this Islamist organization was protected by a divine impunity. For 40 years, its militants have infiltrated all the workings of the Lebanese state and defied justice. Of Shiite faith, they dream of establishing religious law, the Sharia, as in Iran. However, in the mid-2000s, a handful of police officers from the D.E.A., the American anti-drug agency, tried in the greatest secrecy to bring down Hezbollah. The code name of their operation: Cassandre. Their investigation begins in the United States on the still smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center. The series Hezbollah, the forbidden investigation tells the story of how Hezbollah, the "party of God", has patiently built a state within a state in Lebanon, the "Hezbollah-land", by playing on its multiple faces.
