"Lockerbie Revisited" is a 52-minute episode of the Dutch VPRO documentary television series Backlight (Dutch: Tegenlicht) which was broadcast in the Netherlands on the eve of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's second appeal against his conviction of multiple counts of murder for his connection to the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 that started at the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh on 28 April 2009.
The film's director, Gideon Levy, narrates in Dutch and conducts interviews in English with retired FBI officer Richard Marquise, Detective Chief Superintendent Stuart Henderson of the Scottish police, ex-FBI laboratory official Thomas Thurman, UN Observer at the Lockerbie trial Hans Köchler, author and journalist Ian Ferguson, former CIA agent Robert Baer, ex-FBI laboratory scientist Fred Whitehurst and former Lord Advocate Lord Fraser of Carmyllie.
In October 2009, Backlight – Lockerbie Revisited was awarded the Prix Europa as the Best Television Current Affairs Programme of the Year 2009.
[3] Robert Baer says that geopolitics and inter-agency rivalry prevented the CIA passing intelligence-derived evidence to the FBI following the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
"[4] The FBI's Richard Marquise responded to this summary of the film 'Lockerbie Revisited' as follows: "I would like to clarify one point which so many people seem to have made important.
Feraday did in fact bring the fragment to the US--it was never out of his possession and was brought back to the UK at the conclusion of his analysis with Tom Thurman in the FBI lab.
