When Peter checks on his 82-year-old father at home one morning as normal, he finds the house empty. Suffering from advancing dementia, Archie has vanished – leaving no sign of where he might be. As an ex-paratrooper, Archie has been physically fit all his life and has been struggling to accept his increasing fragility. Dementia sufferers are known to travel vast distances when they disappear, and a full-scale land and air search is launched to find Archie.
But as hours tick by without so much as a single confirmed sighting, and a neighbour comes forward with CCTV of potentially suspicious activity at Archie’s home address, the police begin to suspect foul play.

In the United States, five parents a week on average are killed by their children. “I Shot My Parents” follows the dramatic case of 14 year old Nathon Brooks from Washington State, who in 2013 shot his parents while they slept. Miraculously they both survived.
With unique access to Nathon, his family and the police who attended the crime scene, this film unpicks what happened on the night of the shootings and asks what led a boy from a seemingly normal middle-class family to attempt to commit such an unimaginable crime.
Edited by Graham Taylor who used his experience and skills to craft a delicate and devastating film with first time director Martin Webb.
