Greenlit: Murder, Channel 4

Murder w/t (3 x 60′) – Documentary series ollowing every twist and turn of a police investigation into the horrific murder of a teenager, which was filmed over eighteen months with intimate and unprecedented access to a police major crime unit in Bristol as they investigate the stabbing of the 19 year-old.

This trilogy of films creates a distinctive, unfolding picture of a murder from the time the crime is initially reported. It weaves together the stories of three different worlds: a detective faced with an apparently motive-less crime, a family desperate for justice and another who’ll do anything to save their son from a life behind bars. We are taken into a world of guns and disrespect – the currency of the street. We’re led into a world of bad choices and moral dilemmas and as the net closes in we begin to see the ripples that spill out when a murder is committed.

A prime suspect with an alibi, a fugitive on the loose, and a murder detective and his team that has to find a murderer and answers for a grieving family.
