The Boat and the Bomb (2005) - full length version


Christine Cabon is a French military officer best known for her part in the bombing of the ship Rainbow Warrior.

Cabon, then aged 33, a lieutenant in the French Army and working for the DGSE, infiltrated the Greenpeace under the pseudonym Frederique Bonlieu to gain information about the proposed berthing arrangements for the visit of the Rainbow Warrior. She left New Zealand well before the main sabotage team that travelled to New Zealand and bombed and sank the Rainbow Warrior, killing photographer Fernando Pereira, but was sought worldwide and narrowly escaped being apprehended in Israel.
