Mafia: Behind The Code

MAFIA: BEHIND THE CODE takes viewers inside some of the world’s most powerful and secretive criminal organisations, from the ’Ndrangheta and Yakuza to the Thieves-in-law and Triads. Filmmaker Max Serio meets former members and women who grew up inside mafia families and managed to escape, revealing the rules, codes and power structures that govern these hidden worlds.

Suspect

SUSPECT is a scripted factual drama that places viewers inside the police interrogation rooms at the centre of real-life, high-profile true crime cases. Each feature-length film follows the tense drama from a suspect’s arrival in custody as investigators test and challenge their version of events. Produced by Orchard Studios for Channel 5, the two films revisit pivotal moments in notorious cases where those closest to the crime become suspects. One explores the 48 hours in which Kate McCann was questioned by Portuguese police following the disappearance of her daughter Madeleine, while the second examines the case of Tracy Andrews, who became a suspect after her boyfriend was found stabbed thirty times at the side of a road. Grounded in meticulous research and official transcripts, the films intercut dramatized interrogations with flashbacks to key moments from the case, inviting audiences to question what really happened, and whether the person in the room is innocent or guilty. Series Highlights: -From Orchard Studios, led by Dan Grabiner (former Head of Amazon Studios UK & Northern Europe). -Produced by acclaimed factual storytellers behind *24 Hours in A&E* and Prime Video’s *The Confession*. -Rooted in real cases and journalistic rigor.

Forgotten Frontlines

In the years since the Allied victory, historians have chronicled both the heroism and plight of ground troops, navy and airmen - their wins, their losses, their sacrifices, and the slow movement of the righteous towards victory. These stories defined the greatest generation, but it’s not the whole story. From conspiracies to covert ops, some pieces of the narrative seem to have slipped through the cracks of our collective memory. Now, we journey to fill in the gaps between those well-known, well-documented events as we shed light on the war efforts you’ve never even heard of to reveal the truth behind WWII’s FORGOTTEN FRONTLINES

The Jury: Murder Trial

THE JURY: MURDER TRIAL is a ground-breaking experiment that asks profound questions about how we administer justice - by putting the jury system itself on trial. For the first time ever, we examine the fairness of the system, and the inner workings of justice in the UK. Filmed over ten days, a real murder trial is recreated word-for-word from the original transcripts, and two randomly-chosen juries, neither of whom are aware of the other, are asked to judge. The case? A man who admits he killed his wife, but whose defence maintains that he lost control, and is therefore not guilty of murder. What will the two juries decide, and why? How well will they follow the complexities of the law? And after they have deliberated, will they agree with each other’s verdicts?
