This documentary features testimony from key figures including Tony Blair, the victim’s friends, senior police officers, and eyewitnesses. SHOOT TO KILL: HUNTING THE LONDON BOMBERS is a breathtaking investigation that examines how so much can go wrong, the pressures that all involved felt during this scary time, the moral and psychological impact of the incident, and the complexities of being part of one of the most controversial moments in British policing history.
