 SUSPECT SERIES TRAILER 

THE SHOOTING OF JEAN CHARLES DE MENEZES 

Disney + has sent us a trailer for their new four part series that starts April 30th! SUSPECT: THE SHOOTING OF JEAN CHARLES DE MENEZES follows the events surrounding the tragic killing of innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes (Edison Alcaide), after he is mistaken for a terrorist. Told from multiple perspectives of those involved, it takes us back

Suspect will stream from April 30th

almost twenty years, as London reels from the devastating suicide bomb attacks of 7 July 2005. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair (Conleth Hill) launches a large-scale counter terrorism operation to prevent further attacks with Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman (Max Beesley) leading the investigation into the bombings. Unbeknownst to them, another terrorist cell plots an assault that could equal the devastation of 7/7. This second set of planned attacks fails, setting off one of the UK's largest ever manhunts and sparking a covert surveillance operation led by Commander Cressida Dick (Emily Mortimer). As tension and uncertainty rises across the nation, a series of extraordinary events unfolds, and the actions of the Metropolitan Police leads to a critical misidentification. Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent young Brazilian electrician on his way to work, is mistaken for a terrorist and fatally shot at Stockwell station. In the wake of these tragic events, Independent Police Complaints Commission secretary Lana Vandenberghe (Laura Aikman) makes a life changing decision, and Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick (Russell Tovey), in a police force engulfed by crisis, fights for the truth to prevail. What follows is a family's fight for justice and answers, and a long-fought struggle to bring clarity to a situation clouded by disinformation.
