Based on the real events of 23 October 2002, In Your Hands is the story of a terrorist attack that grabbed headlines all over the world.

Dedicated to all those who lost their lives in terrorist attacks. Please note this production contains scenes of a violent nature that may be unsuitable for children. Running time 1 hour 45 minutes
