Join the award-winning creators of Showtime’s new limited series, Ghosts of Beirut — director Greg Barker and writer Avi Issacharoff — on their daring new international thriller in conversation with CBS News’ Christina Ruffini. Based on the true story of the manhunt for Imad Mughniyeh, the Lebanese terrorist who eluded the CIA and Mossad for over two decades — Ghosts of Beirut follows the American, Israeli and Lebanese perspectives of how Mughniyeh’s rose from the Shiite slums of South Beirut to masterminding of the concept of suicide bombers — making him one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist before 9/11. Hear Barker and Issacharoff discuss with Ruffini their innovative approach to the series — a blend of dramatic storytelling and documentary journalism — and their perspectives on Mughniyeh’s role in the Middle East and beyond, stories from behind the scenes, and much more.
