We must spot them, identify them and do everything to neutralize them. All the while living with the anguish – and guilt if that’s the case – that at any moment a large-scale massacre could happen again. Adapted from the book of the same name by journalist Matthieu Suc, the mini-series “The Spies of Terror” takes us to November 2015, after the attacks which bloodied Paris and Saint-Denis, as close as possible to the services of the DGSI (Directorate General Directorate of Internal Security) and the DGSE (Directorate General of External Security).
We follow the daily life of Lucie (Fleur Geffrier), Malika (Rachida Brakni), Vincent (Vincent Elbaz) and the others who led this ensurvey under high tension between 2015 and 2016. From the explosion of the attacks of November 13 to the pervasive pursuit, in France and internationally, which has damaged their personal lives and even their health.
