Lost Boys: Belfast’s Missing Children

During the winter of 1969, young boys started to disappear off the streets of Belfast, never to be seen again.

By 1974, as ‘The Troubles’ were reaching a bloody and vicious peak, five boys in total had vanished from within a five-mile radius of each other.

After a 5 year investigation, Lost Boys pulls at the threads of these unresolved disappearances to unfold an extraordinary untold tale of abuse, murder and potential cover-up that asks serious questions of the British state and its intelligence operations in Northern Ireland.
