Unmasking
Jack the Ripper is an acclaimed 75 minute drama-documentary that was filmed on location in the streets of Whitechapel as well as in the London Dungeon's Jack the Ripper exhibition and in Clerkenwell's superbly atmospheric House of Detention.
It was written by and is presented by Jack the Ripper author Richard Jones and features interviews with leading Jack the Ripper expert and historian Paul Begg.
Using dramatic reconstructions the film spirits the viewer back to the autumn of 1888 when the ripper was stalking the east End of London. Viewers are taken around the murder sites as they are today and, by the use of evocative Victorian photographs are given a vivid impression of what those murder sites were like in 1888.
Other interviewees whose contributions lend the production authority and gravitas include leading Jack the Ripper researcher Lindsay Siviter; East End historian Jenny Philips; and Zena Shine who grew up in the East End of London in the 1930's and who describes what the area was like in her childhood. Zena is also unique amongst the interviewees in that in 1987 she was visited by two researchers who informed her that she may well be descended from a leading Jack the Ripper suspect!
Unmasking Jack the Ripper has been critically acclaimed by several leading Jack the Ripper publications and resources. According Ripperologist
"Unmasking Jack the Ripper reconstructs the main points of the Ripper story with skill, seamlessly weaving dramatic reconstructions, narration and interviews with experts in a lively way that keeps this well-trodden story fresh and interesting. Perhaps the best...[Jack the Ripper]...documentary to have been produced in recent years. "
So enjoy an expert led investigation into the murders of the world's most famous serial killer and gain a valuable insight into the streets, places and of the social history of London in the late 19th century.
