Explore Liverpool stories through the Gee family, the Fitzgibbons, the Bootle and Formby investigation and the Arobieke profile.
These documentaries approach the city from different angles: family connections, criminal investigations and the way a reputation takes hold. Each film has a dedicated companion, so you can follow a single case or compare the stories without treating an entire community as one narrative.
Darren and Danny Gee’s stories place family loyalty, imprisonment and the possibility of change in the same frame. This companion follows the documentary’s movement from Liverpool’s Grizedale estate to Darren’s later anti-violence message.
A Liverpool family story opens onto an international drugs investigation, as Street Crime UK follows Jason and Ian Fitzgibbon, covert recordings and the effort to interrupt a heroin-importation plot.
Street Crime UK connects Lewis Clarke, Malcolm Graham and Adam Mercer in an account linking Bootle and Formby, with a disagreement and mobile-phone evidence forming the documentary’s investigative premise.
Akinwale Arobieke’s story sits at the intersection of reported conduct, legal restrictions and urban folklore. The documentary examines how a real person became a widely circulated figure, and how race and repetition shaped that transformation.
Follow this route through the collection, or choose the story that interests you. Read each film’s companion for its own facts, themes and publication context.
