Synopsis

In co-production with Justin Webster Productions, Fasten Films, Movistar, ZDFinfo, Netflix and DR, supported by Creative Europa MEDIA.

NISMAN is a global true crime series that reveals how the dealings between Argentina, Iran, Israel and the USA – and their respective secret services – culminated in the mysterious death of Alberto Nisman. 

"Over six, hour-long chapters with dozens of interviews and testimonies, including current President Alberto Fernández — who is not related to Cristina Fernández — researchers, spies, FBI and CIA agents and unpublished images, British director Justin Webster seeks to shed light on the case through the documentary. The series quickly became the most commented topic on social media in Argentina and the president himself spoke to the media to address his statements in the documentary." (AP-news)

'In 1994 a bomb detonates in a Jewish cultural centre in Buenos Aires. 85 people die, three times as many are injured. This act of terror remains unsolved until 2003, when special prosecutor Alberto Nisman starts an extensive investigation – but shortly before he can present his results to the public he is found dead in his apartment. Cause of death: a head shot. Emmy winner Justin Webster’s six-part documentary series revisits both the terror attack and Nisman’s death in the form of a political thriller: gripping, complex and suspenseful.' ( IFF Cologne)
