At dusk on September 16, 1982, a group of heavily armed men marched into the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in western Beirut, Lebanon. They belong to the Christian party, the armed militia of the Falangists, and they want to demand blood revenge.
Despite international promises, the civilian population is unprotected – and 36 hours later, the bodies are stacked in mounds along the narrow alleys.
In the middle of the nightmare is a Swedish nurse. Two Nordic journalists will be among the first to witness with their own eyes what happened.
But who really carries blood on their hands? Two decades later, a unique legal process begins. And at the center is Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
