Muammar Gaddafi ruled Libya for over four decades before an uprising and NATO-backed intervention ended his regime in 2011. This film reconstructs that collapse through the people who lived it from the inside: defectors who abandoned his government, military advisors who once served him, and insiders who watched the machinery of the state come apart. Their accounts trace the arc from Gaddafi's long, idiosyncratic rule to the final weeks when his own officers and allies began switching sides. The film sets that personal testimony against the larger political picture, laying out the social and economic strain building inside Libya before the uprising and the disorder that followed the dictatorship's fall. It stays close to firsthand recollection rather than outside analysis, letting the men who were in the room describe how a government that seemed permanent unraveled in a matter of months.
