In 1997, the temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Luxor was the scene of the brutal murder of 58 tourists. When the Islamic fundamentalist group Al Gamaa al Islamiya claimed responsibility and the Egyptian government quickly drew a veil over the incident, many relatives were left with unanswered questions regarding their lost family.

This documentary follows the British, Swiss and Japanese relatives of the victims as they travel to Egypt to retrace the last steps of their loved ones. Determined to find out who ordered the attack and why, they gain insight into the workings of the group responsible and understanding of their social, religious and political affiliations. This is a frightening and emotional documentary that reveals the wider social significance of a seemingly singular vicious attack.
