    The Village

    Season 4: The untold story of the murder of Darren Bradshaw, a gay police officer in Northern Ireland in 1997 and how the LGBT community fought back against prejudice during the Troubles. From BBC.

    The Village investigates unresolved — and often underreported — cases of missing and murdered individuals in queer communities across Canada and beyond.

    Hear episodes early and ad-free on CBC True Crime Premium on Apple Podcasts.

    Season 1 | The cases of missing and murdered men in Toronto’s gay community.

    Season 2 | The unexplained deaths of Alloura Wells and Cassandra Do, the communities that loved them, and the systems that failed them.

    Season 3 | For many men, being in – or out – of the closet during the AIDS epidemic was the difference between life and death. In Montreal, unsolved murders stack up. And in the absence of police protection, a community of activists are forced to take matters into their own hands.

    Season 4 | The untold story of the murder of a gay police officer in Northern Ireland in 1997.

    The untold story of the murder of a gay police officer in Northern Ireland in 1997.


    Belfast 1997. But not just any part of Belfast, gay Belfast. A place you've probably never heard of before. Cigarette smoke, aftershave and expectation fill the air in the only gay bar in the country. Sat having a drink on a night out is Darren Bradshaw. He was just 24 years old when he was shot dead in front of hundreds of people. His brutal murder by terrorists sparked fears of a return to all out violence as the new Labour government under Tony Blair sought to bring peace to Northern Ireland - on the road to the Good Friday Agreement.


    This is the untold story of his life and murder. A story of both love and eventually betrayal.

    Presenter Jordan Dunbar grew up in the city, he was a comedian and drag performer on the Belfast scene and yet this murder and Darren's life was never talked about.


    Following Darren's story brings to life the struggle of being gay in The Troubles, how Belfast got its first Pride parade only in 1991 and its very first openly gay club in 1994 -The Parliament bar where Darren was tragically shot dead.


    It's a community surviving as well as thriving against a backdrop of violence and discrimination. He meets the original drag queens, DJs and club pioneers determined to claim back the city centre from the terrorists and create a safe place of their own.


    Determined to piece together for the first time how Darren was killed that night and why, Jordan uncovers stories of bigotry, bravery and betrayal.
