How Police Missed the Grindr Killer

Directed by
Runtime
46 min
Documentary

Synopsis

The film chronicles how police repeatedly failed to apprehend a serial murderer. Stephen Port date-raped and murdered four young gay men in East London over a fifteen-month period, and he disposed of all four bodies within a few hundred meters of each other. The film presents the story from the perspective of the families of Port's victims, examining how the police neglected to properly investigate each death. Police assumptions that the young gay men had died from self-inflicted overdoses of chem-sex drugs allowed Port to continue his cycle of rape and murder.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
