Libya's 2011 uprising against Muammar Gaddafi's four-decade rule turns violent almost immediately, and BBC Panorama reporter Paul Kenyon investigates who gave the order to fire on unarmed protesters. He gathers testimony and evidence pointing toward Saadi Gaddafi, the colonel's son, as the figure behind the crackdown, tracing military movements and witness accounts from the early days of the revolt. Kenyon works through interviews with people who were on the streets when troops opened fire, building a case against a regime that had ruled through fear since 1969. The film sits inside the chaos of the uprising itself, filmed as events were still unfolding rather than reconstructed after the fact, which gives the footage of crowds, gunfire, and military checkpoints an unfinished, live quality. Panorama's focus stays narrow and specific: not the whole war, but one chain of command and one question of responsibility. The result is a piece of contemporaneous reporting on how Gaddafi's family and military apparatus responded when the streets turned against them.
