Fecha de emisión: Sept 29, 2013

Siege in the Sahara is a dramatic reconstruction of the terrorist attack on a gas plant in Algeria that involved two Canadian jihadists and left 40 hostages dead. Over four days, the hostage-taking transfixed the world, ending when Algerian Special Forces stormed the site and killed or captured all of the Al Qaeda operatives, including the two Canadians. The film raises many important questions about why so many hostages died in the attack.
