Belfast’s Vanished Boys: A State Cover Up? | Full Documentary

Fearless journalism is challenging and expensive. Please support the film here: https://buymeacoffee.com/alleycatstv Lost Boys: Belfast's Missing Children During the winter of 1969, young boys started to disappear from 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 within a five-mile radius. Fifty years later, as the disappearances remain unsolved and families continue to search for answers, filmmaker Des Henderson (How to Defuse a Bomb) reopens these largely forgotten cold-cases, unearthing disturbing revelations in secret state documents to reveal an extraordinary tale of abuse, murder and potential cover up.
