On September 21, 2013, an Al Qaeda-linked Al Shabaab terrorist group from Somalia attacked Westgate Mall in Kenya’s capital Nairobi. 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.

An HBO exclusive, the harrowing hour-long documentary narrated by British filmmaker Dan Reed, marks the first anniversary of the attack.
