Now, to honor the 20th anniversary, the Stan Original Series Bali 2002 drops this Sunday. The series is a dramatic retelling of the events of the terrorist attack.
Here's everything you need to know about the new series.
On 12th October 2002, the island of Bali was shattered by a terrorist attack on two of Kuta Beach's busiest nightclubs. Local Balinese and the mainly Australian and British tourists scrambled to rescue the injured and comfort the dying.
Australian and Indonesian authorities mobilised to evacuate survivors, identify victims and investigate what really took place.
Amidst this chaos, heroes arose from the most unlikely places and people united in the search for healing, justice and meaning. Victims struggled to rebuild their broken lives as the Indonesian and Australian security forces faced a clear and present danger – working together to capture the terrorists before they could strike again.
Bali 2002 is an inspiring drama that explores the events of the impactful day in world history. It shows how everyday heroes from Bali, Australia and beyond defied the odds to bring order from chaos and hope from despair in the immediate aftermath of the 2002 Bali bombings.
The series stars Bridgerton star Claudia Jessie, Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under), and Richard Roxburgh (Rake).
The series also stars Sean Keenan (Stan Original Film Nitram), Srisacd Sacdpraseuth (Mystery Road) and newcomer Sri Ayu Jati Kartika.
The four-part drama series will premiere Sunday 25 September, with all episodes available at once, only on Stan.
