- Summary:
- A thrilling film which uses the written accounts of its perpetrators to show why The Gunpowder Plot remains the world's boldest ever terror conspiracy. Remarkably, the capture and relentless interrogation of eight of the 13 Gunpowder Plotters were all recorded in written accounts made at the time, and means that this docu-drama can use verbatim conversations and reactions to recreate every dramatic step of the two-year plot. Using drama sequences, location filming, the contemporary accounts and interviews with a number of present-day experts, The Gunpowder Plotters is an immersive and uniquely authentic thriller which has real global significance in the new age of terror which followed from 9/11.
