Extraordinary new projects from Stern & Wild clients commemorate the victims of the 7/7 suicide bombings
Stern & Wild filmmakers are marking the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 London terror attacks with two new critically acclaimed documentary series about the horrific bombings and their aftermath.
Tim Lawton is Series Director of the fantastic three-part Sky Original series 7/7: HOMEGROWN TERROR which launched on Sky Documentaries and NOW on Sunday. The series was described as “stunningly powerful” in a review in the Guardian this week. Duncan Coates is Showrunner and Co-Executive Producer of the four-part Netflix series ATTACK ON LONDON: HUNTING THE 7/7 BOMBERS. Described in a separate Guardian review as “heart-racing”, the series launched on Netflix on Monday.
Tim’s series 7/7: HOMEGROWN TERROR draws on a range of perspectives to unpack the story of the 7 July attacks, the manhunt for the bombers, the failed 21 July attacks and the subsequent shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. It provides testimonies from key witnesses, survivors and their families, investigators, and voices connected to the bombers – including the father of one of the attackers, the close friend of another, and a fellow Brit who attended a training camp with the perpetrators. It is a Blast! Films production for Sky and was widely praised when it premiered at Sheffield DocFest last month.
All three episodes are available to stream on Sky Documentaries and NOW.
Duncan’s series ATTACK ON LONDON: HUNTING THE 7/7 BOMBERS examines how the country struggled to make sense of the shocking events as the authorities raced against the clock to stop further attacks. It features exclusive interviews, unseen archive and powerful first-person accounts – including survivors, victim’s families, people who knew the bombers, police investigators, the lead explosives expert, the Prime Minister, the head of MI5, the family of Jean Charles de Menezes, key firearms officers, citizen heroes, and journalists and campaigners trying to uncover the truth behind those frenzied weeks. It provides an immersive minute-by-minute account of events, tracing the shockwaves of the attacks and the hunt to find those responsible. It is produced by The Garden for Netflix.
All four episodes are available to stream now on Netflix.
