The documentary on Flight 149 delves into the ordeal of nearly 400 passengers stranded in Kuwait during the 1990 Iraqi invasion. It contrasts official claims of ignorance with evidence suggesting the British government and British Airways had prior knowledge. Passengers initially sheltered in luxury soon faced dire conditions, becoming human shields. The film aims to uncover a potential miscarriage of justice while providing dramatic reconstructions of the unfolding crisis, making the viewing experience both harrowing and enlightening.
But as time went on, they were dispatched to various squalid locations, including a bungalow where the walls were smothered in excrement.
British Airways maintains that it, too, was unaware of what was taking place, while the British government said it didn't know what was happening until after the plane had landed.
