'Musa al-Sadr: The Full Story' documentary explores how Lebanon reacted to Imam Musa al-Sadr’s disappearance in Libya and the silence of Libyan authorities that deepened the mystery.
00:00With Imam Musa al-Sadr's disappearance and that of his two companions, anxiety and anger swept Lebanon.
00:08Demonstrations erupted, demanding to reveal his fate while institutions moved through their official channels to pressure the Libyan authorities and demand clarification of what happened.
00:20The Lebanese, state, the Imam's family and the pillars of the higher Islamic Shiite council mobilized when news of the Imam and his companions was cut off.
