The Hamburg Cell (film)
The Hamburg Cell is a 2004 Channel 4 (United Kingdom) and CBC (Canada) television film that describes the creation of the Hamburg cell, Islamist and extremist group composed by the terrorists that piloted the airplanes hijacked during the September 11 attacks. Although the terrorist cell was led by Mohamed Atta, the film is focused in the character of Ziad Jarrah, the terrorist that was the only one that had doubts about the attacks.[1]
Plot
In this daring dramatization of events leading up to 9/11, director Antonia Bird 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 duplicitious lover and husband; Mohamed Atta (Kamel), the stern, puritanical enforcer, seething with hate; and Ramzi Binalshibh (Omar Berdouni), the fanatic recruiter for violent martyrdom.
