A THIN LINE
The box set drops on July 6th. It contains 10 episodes of 60 minutes each. As tireless activists, twin sisters Anna and Benni Krohn run an anonymous platform where they expose environmental and climate crimes. Their activities do receive a great deal of attention, but the lamentable situation remains unchanged. When their cover is blown after hacking the government, the introverted Anna is arrested by the feds. The charismatic Benni, however, manages to flee and joins “The Last Stand”, a newly founded terrorist group who are planning a serious attack with unpredictable consequences in order to wake up the world.
The twin sisters, once inseparable in the face of family tension, seem to be growing apart. While Benni is becoming increasingly radicalized, Anna is persuaded by her godfather Christoph Wandler, head of the federal Cybercrime unit, to offer her assistance. Suddenly, the sisters, both convinced of their own righteousness, are on opposing sides.

GHOSTS OF BEIRUT

The box set drops on July 27th. It contains 4 episodes of 60 minutes each. Ghosts Of Beirut is a four-part spy drama based on one of the elusive espionage stories of modern times: the manhunt for Imad Mughniyeh, the elusive Lebanese terrorist who outwitted his adversaries in the CIA and Mossad for over two decades. The limited series, which features an innovative narrative approach augmented by deep journalistic research and documentary elements, reveals the origins of 21-year-old Mughniyeh who emerged from obscurity and was responsible for more American deaths than any other individual prior to 9/11.
Told from the American, Israeli and Lebanese perspectives, the series traces Mughniyeh’s origins from the Shiite slums of Soth Beirut to his masterminding of the concept of suicide bombers, a deadly tactic that led to his swift rise as the world’s most dangerous terrorist. Based on extensive research of still-classified events, the drama spans decades and weaves in first-hand, real-life interviews with prominent officials from the CIA and Mossad, connecting the turmoil of 1980s Beirut with the spy games of the modern Middle East.
