Murky Skies

2022 Murkey Skies | Assistant Director, Researcher, Line Producer and Dutch translation for 3 x 48 minutes TV series.

The 1992 crash of an Israeli Boeing 747 into an apartment building in Amsterdam remains a three decades mystery, fueled by unexplained illnesses, lost evidence, mysterious cargo, and one missing black box. An international thriller that chronicles how narratives are conceived and uncovers the hidden threads between business, politics, the military and us: the people.

Synopsis

In 1992 a Boeing 747 cargo flight from JFK to Tel Aviv, on a stop off in Amsterdam, crashed into an apartment block in the Bijlmer, an immigrant’s neighborhood, shortly after take-off, claiming dozens of lives and injuring many others. The official story is that a technical failure occurred after take-off.

But in the weeks that follow the crash, while the media and the public focus on the victims and the survivors, an unseen drama begins to take shape in the background.
This was just the beginning. In the three decades the truth is yet to be unearthed from the mountains of lost evidence, covert operations, financial corruption and political whitewashing. The story continues with a present-day attempt to reinvestigate the story, with newly obtained materials from thawed archives, inside sources, characters and unseen footage.
