The Hamburg Cell is a 2004 British-Canadian television docudrama film produced by Channel 4 and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and directed by Antonia Bird. It describes the creation of the Hamburg cell, an Islamist extremist group that included the terrorists who piloted the airplanes hijacked during the September 11 attacks. Although the terrorist cell was led by Mohamed Atta, the film is focused on the character of Ziad Jarrah, the one hijacker who had doubts about the attacks, and for various reasons was seen as distinct.^[1]

Plot edit
