ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive trailer for the upcoming U.S. debut of Viaplay International’s newest political thriller series, Dangerous Truth. It features a man who gets involved in a deadly conspiracy buried inside the European intelligence services. The German thriller series is inspired by real events, centering around the faulty intelligence that helped justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
“Alex Jaromin is a young photographer who has spent most of his life hiding under a false identity in Athens as part of a witness protection program. Twenty years earlier, he survived a brutal attack that killed his father—a German army sniper—and his sister. When Alex’s mother suddenly dies, long-buried secrets begin to surface. He learns that the attack on his family may not have been the work of Serbian extremists, as he was always told. Instead, his father may have been involved in a covert mission tied to a mysterious Iraqi informant known as ‘Curveball’ whose claims about weapons of mass destruction helped push the world toward war,” reads the official synopsis.
“Determined to uncover the truth, Alex follows a trail that leads from Athens to the corridors of power in Berlin—and to a political scandal that powerful figures would rather keep buried. As he digs deeper, it becomes clear that exposing the truth could cost him his life.”
