Killing Anna (Sam Benstead, 2026), 11.05pm, Channel 4
“I weaponise myself, my trauma.” Annsar Shahhoud, a Syria-born researcher in genocide studies at the University of Amsterdam, is the focus of this remarkable documentary. After being sent videos of massacres by the Assad regime, she set up a fake Facebook account (under the name of Anna Sh), befriended Syrian officials and militia, and got them to admit their role in the mass murders of civilians in Damascus. The toll on Shahhoud is clear, but so is her will to bring the truth to light. Simon Wardell
