Gone: The Lost Boys of Belfast (2023)

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. Fifty years later, these disappearances remain unsolved and families continue to search for answers. After an exhaustive investigation, Lost Boys: Belfast's Missing Children, pulls at the threads of these largely forgotten cold-cases to unfold an extraordinary stranger than fiction tale of abuse, murder and potential cover up. With shocking new testimony from British Army whistle-blowers and disturbing revelations in secret state documents brought to light for the first time, filmmaker Des Henderson asks serious questions of the British state and its covert intelligence operations in Northern Ireland.
