A new drama series is set to premiere on Thursday (March 16) that looks back to a devastating terrorist attack that rocked the Indonesian island of Bali in 2002. Airing on ITV’s streaming platform ITVX, Bali 2002 will explore how everyday heroes from Bali, Australia and around the world, defied the odds to bring order from chaos and hope from despair during the 2002 Bali bombings.
The four-part series has developed in consultation with those directly impacted by the tragedy. The attack took place on October 12, 2002, in the popular tourist region of Kuta Beach during one of the busiest periods of the year.
It started when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb inside the packed Paddy’s Pub nightclub. The ensuing chaos saw the many injured and uninjured patrons flood out into the streets.
