Film & Discussion
Manhunt: The Inside Story of the Hunt for bin Laden
. Special Introduction by Mr. Peter Bergen, Vice President, Director of Studies & Fellows and International Security Program at New America; Professor of Practice at Arizona State University
Based on the book "Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden – from 9/11 to Abbottabad" by Peter Bergen, this documentary feature is a real-life spy thriller that reveals behind-the-scenes of the killing of Osama bin Laden.
The May 1, 2011 raid on Abbottabad, Pakistan that culminated in the killing of Osama bin Laden took 40 minutes. The CIA's hunt for bin Laden took two decades. An official selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, Manhunt tells the remarkable true story of the nearly 20-year pursuit of the world's most notorious terrorist. Directed by Emmy®-nominee Greg Barker, the film features testimony and recollections – some shared for the first time – from top CIA officers, many of them women, who labored to eliminate bin Laden's terrorist organization and eventually the man himself.
