quote:
On Sept. 21, 2013, Al-Shabaab, an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group from Somalia, attacked Westgate Mall in neighboring Kenya. The siege lasted 49 hours, leaving 71 dead and hundreds wounded.

Told from the vantage point of more than 100 security cameras revealing hours of previously unseen mall surveillance video, and drawing on extensive photos taken during the attack and testimony from survivors and rescuers depicted in the footage and photos, TERROR AT THE MALL recalls the horror of the attack, as well as the courage and resilience of ordinary citizens in the face of mass murder. The harrowing documentary debuts MONDAY, SEPT. 15 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, marking the first anniversary of the attack. Dan Reed (HBO's Emmy(R)-nominated "Terror in Mumbai") directs.

Watched this yesterday evening and it refreshed my memory on this massacre. Riveting documentary imo.

Was it ever confirmed that extensive torturing took place during the incident?

Anybody watch this?

I'm unsure if I should give it a shot or not. Seems intriguing but I remember being sick to my stomach at just reading the article that detailed the horrors that went on there, so may be too much for me

Then you didn't search.

There was one last week and one yesterday. But regardless, no harm. Great, great documentary and makes me really glad I've never had to face a situation like that. And I hope I never have to. That shite was downright scary at times how cold blooded those dudes were.
