This documentary shows how a prison massacre in 1996 proved to be the main catalyst that led to the uprising in the city of Benghazi, Libya. The programme explores how a 48-year old father of two sacrificed his life to enable the people to liberate the city and end years of injustice, oppression and misery at the hands of Muammar Gaddafi. Religious freedoms and unity have been the highlight of the revolution in Benghazi and the great legacy of Omar Mukhtar still lives on in the hearts of the people.
