The Maltese Double Cross

This documentary investigates the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and disputes the conclusions of the official investigation. It suggests that the bomb was hidden in a suitcase carried by an unwitting drug mule, Khaled Jafaar, which was allegedly protected by the CIA.

Featuring insights from Brian Cox and Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, the former prime minister of Iran, the film explores the notion of Iranian involvement as a form of retaliation for the shootdown of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes in 1988. Its examination of these complex geopolitical events makes it a thought-provoking entry in the documentary genre, particularly for those interested in aviation disasters and international relations during the late 20th century.
