A Storyville documentary exploring the extraordinary life of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, better known globally as Carlos the Jackal. The mastermind of some of the most audacious attacks of the 20th century, he has never spoken for himself – until now. From his childhood in Venezuela to his radicalisation, his operations across Europe and the Middle East, and his relationships with some of the era’s most infamous figures – from Colonel Gaddafi to Osama Bin Laden – Carlos speaks with unsettling clarity about his life, past actions and ideology. In this rare and intimate portrait, recorded from the confines of a French high-security prison, where he is serving three life sentences, Carlos shares his story - unfiltered, unapologetic and deeply revealing.
