Changing hands over a decade, used in 11 shootings and three murders, this is the story of Britain's deadliest illegal gun. Made by a Bafta-winning team, this bold hybrid of documentary and drama charts every shooting of Gun No 6 and confronts us with the realities of modern gun crime. The film honours the lives lost to Gun No 6, through the testimony of loved-ones left behind, but it also asks us to listen to the perpetrators of gun crime too. As governments and news headlines wrestle with the reality of violent crime, this film explores why men pick up guns and the shockwaves that follow each shooting, for the victims, perpetrators, communities and police.
