The Terror Trial

The trial of the most important attacks perpetrated on French soil, those of November 13, 2015. An extraordinary court case with 20 defendants referred to a specially created Court, 220 volumes of proceedings and nearly 1,700 civilian parties. It is an event as expected as it is feared: it will reopen wounds that have barely started to heal. Through the testimonies of victims of terrorism, lawyers, law enforcement and members of the judicial system, this documentary series shows how France is preparing to face the opening of this unprecedented trial. By following the groundwork for the case and looking back at the evidence of the police investigation, we will understand the functioning of anti-terrorist justice in European countries and how a society responds to the unthinkable.
