10. The Hunt for Bin Laden
Site Score: 3, IMDb Score: 1 Overall Score: 4
Directed by Leslie Woodhead
Year: 2013
A pursuit that spanned 20 years and half a globe finally ended when Navy SEALs Team 6 stormed a compound in a little known Pakistani town of Abbottabad. For most people Ossama Bin Laden became a known terrorist in the aftermath of 9/11 attack, but he was on FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list since 1999. The act that placed him firmly on FBI’a and CIA’s radar were 1998 United States embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed more than 200 people. After American intervention in Afghanistan, Bin Laden managed to disappear, after almost being caught in Tora Bora Mountains. The film documents a painstaking process that led to his discovery in Pakistan and the eventual elimination by the Navy SEALs.
