Two years have passed by since the Manhunt for Osama Bin Laden came to a conclusion, and since the well remembered release by President Obama announcing his capture and killing.
For more than two decades, he was the target of intense scrutiny, with an entire unit at the CIA dedicated to tracking his every move and trying to determine what violence he might perpetrate. When 9/11 confirmed Osama bin Laden’s intentions, these same analysts and operatives were now blamed for failing to prevent it, though they had spent years warning about the possibility of an attack. ‘MANHUNT’ features testimonials from CIA Analysts, Targeters, and Operatives who tracked Bin Laden for nearly two decades, turning years of careful planning and intelligence into action on May 1, 2011.
The documentary debuts WEDNESDAY, MAY 1 (8:00-9:45 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.
An Official selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, MANHUNT is a unique insider account that puts a human face on the secret world of intelligence gathering. It offers a reminder that these members of the CIA aren’t trained soldiers like those who successfully raided Abbottabad, but average people with extraordinary motivation.
