Nail Bomber: Manhunt

Nail Bomber: Manhunt (2021) is a British investigative documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Over thirteen days in 1999, homemade devices packed with nails went off across London, aimed squarely at Black, Bangladeshi and LGBT neighbourhoods.

Director Daniel Vernon walks through the police hunt for a lone neo-Nazi who wanted to set off a race war — and the anti-fascist mole who had spent years embedded inside Britain's far right. Archive footage, CCTV and first-hand testimony reconstruct how investigators closed in on bomber David Copeland before he could strike again, and what the attacks cost the people caught in the blasts.

At 72 tight minutes, it skips the reenactment gloss and lets the record speak. A solid pick for true-crime viewers who care about how a case is actually cracked. Stream Nail Bomber: Manhunt online on iFILM.
