Zusammenfassung
In the gripping tale of "GAL," two tenacious journalists delve into the clandestine operations of Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación (GAL), a shadowy organization founded in the 1980s with covert backing from Spanish government and security forces' elite. Their mission: to hunt down and neutralize members and allies of Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA), the notorious Basque separatist group wreaking havoc across Spain.
As the journalists dig deeper into GAL's dark underbelly, they uncover a web of corruption and deceit that implicates some of Spain's most powerful figures. Navigating a treacherous landscape where truth is a liability and loyalty is bought with blood, they race against time to expose GAL's illicit activities before they become casualties of their own investigation.
