This powerful documentary investigates the devastating Beirut port explosion of August 4, 2020, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. The film explores the corruption, negligence and political failures that led to the disaster, as well as the lack of accountability in the years that followed. Through interviews, investigation and on-the-ground reporting, this documentary examines how thousands of tonnes of ammonium nitrate were left stored at the port for years, ultimately leading to a catastrophic explosion that killed hundreds of people, injured thousands and destroyed large parts of the city. Beirut: The Heart of a Ticking Time Bomb is a hard-hitting investigation into power, corruption and the fight for justice after one of the most devastating urban explosions in modern history.
