Summary
In the summer of 2010, a lone gunman unleashed a wave of violence that would trigger one of the largest and most dramatic manhunts in modern British history. After shooting his ex-partner and killing her new boyfriend, Raoul Moat declared war on the police, later blinding unarmed officer David Rathband. For a week, the nation was held in thrall as he evaded a massive police dragnet, using social media to broadcast his grievances and gain a disturbing public following. This documentary traces the tense, real-time investigation that culminated in a final, televised standoff on a riverbank, exploring the mind of a fugitive and the community both terrified and fascinated by his rampage.
