When was the Manchester Arena terror attack? What happened?
The programme airs on the anniversary of the attack - one year on.
On May 22, 2017 a Manchester-born man detonated a homemade bomb at an Ariana Grande concert, killing twenty-two people and himself.
It was Britain’s deadliest terrorist attack since 7/7.
A bomb exploded in the foyer of Manchester Arena moments after the singer had left the stage.
Witnesses told how nuts and bolts were sent flying in the blast as fans made their way to Manchester Victoria train station next door to the concert venue.
The fanatic responsible for the horror was identified as Salman Abedi, 22.
What will the documentary cover?
The documentary tells the story of that night in forensic detail, through the eyes of teenage girls who survived the attack, witnesses and key members of the emergency services.
It features unseen mobile phone video and unheard audio recordings and has exclusive access to the emergency services.
The film also explores the identity and motives of the suicide bomber.
Featuring interviews with counter-terrorism police and his friends from South Manchester, the film sheds light on what may have led Abedi to target a group of children attending a concert celebrating the independence and empowerment of young women.
