Synopsis

On August 4, 2020, 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate pulverized the port of Beirut, killing more than 235 people and devastating a third of the capital. It was one of the most powerful non-nuclear explosions in history.

While the mystery remains unsolved and justice paralyzed, committed citizens have conducted their own counter-investigation to break the wall of silence and piece together the fragments of a criminal puzzle.

Between opaque transactions and ignored warnings, this investigation follows the trail of a ticking time bomb that should never have reached Lebanon.
