The Official Unmasking Jack The Ripper Documentary

This is the full and official version of the documentary Unmasking Jack the Ripper, written by Richard Jones and produced by Richard and Mark Ubsdell. The documentary takes the viewer through the events of the autumn of 1888 when the Whitechapel Murders were causing fear and consternation in the Victorian East End of London.

The video begins with an introduction that sets the scene by looking at the social conditions in the districts of Spitalfields and Whitechapel in the last 12 years of the 19th century.

Having set the scene, we look at the early murders and discuss whether or not they were the work of the murderer who became known as Jack the Ripper.

The murders were investigated by the Metropolitan Police and so we next take a look at the structure of the force and introduce the officers and detectives who had the responsibility of trying to solve the crimes.

Having covered the background against which the killings were occurring, the documentary then takes the viewer chronologically through the so-called "canonical five" victims - Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes.

We feature each murder in depth and look at the public reaction as the murders progressed and the realisation dawned that a repeat killer was on the loose in the East End of the Victorian metropolis.

A section of the documentary deals with the infamous "Dear Boss" letter, which bore the signature "Jack the Ripper" and goes on to discuss other missives that purported to come from the perpetrator - including the George Lusk "From Hell" communication.

The final section of the documentary deals with the various suspects whose names have been put forward as likely perpetrators of the Jack the Ripper crimes in the 128 plus years since the murders occurred.

Expert interviews with top Ripperologists Paul Begg and Lindsay Siviter lend gravitas to the production, whilst dramatic reconstructions and genuine Victorian photographs help bring the saga of the Whitechapel Murders to vivid life.
