On 26 June 2015, electronics student Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire on tourists staying in the resort of Port El Kantaoui in Tunisia. Carrying a Kalashnikov rifle hidden in a parasol umbrella, he unleashed a hail of bullets that claimed the lives of 38 people in an armed assault that lasted less than 40 minutes. 

This detailed documentary film interviews survivors to piece together exactly what happened. It's full of tales of life-saving decisions and incredible bravery in the face of appalling danger, but in many ways that's just the start of the story. The film also examines how the survivors of the attack have spent the decade since, how they have handled the trauma and loss, and the battles they have fought to rebuild lives and minds in the wake of the tragedy.
