About the Work
‚??Manhunt‚?? is a documentary by director Greg Barker who became immersed in the hunt for Bin Laden. The documentary, which showed at Sundance earlier this year, is based on the book of the same name by Peter Bergen and includes interviews with people who experienced the search first-hand including Nada Bakos, a former CIA analyst.
After the Bin Laden raid and various movies, people wanted to see how the hunt came about, the journey behind the scenes and what went into the search. This film achieved this by including the true faces behind the search. Our design was an extension of the film and showed the hands on approach involved in the search. It became a character of the film, as it enabled the viewer to see through the eyes of the agents and be confronted with the alarming amount of information the agents needed to make sense of.
