Pete Doherty, Who Killed My Son?

BAFTA-nominated PETE DOHERTY, WHO KILLED MY SON? is a modern-day Miss Marple mystery, set in the contrasting worlds of a grimy crack-stained East London and Guildford’s middle-class stockbroker belt. The Channel 4 documentary explores the unexplained death of Mark Blanco in 2006. Mark died in suspicious circumstances after attending a party with the controversial rock star Pete Doherty. After raising serious issues with the initial police investigation, this is the story of grieving mother, Sheila Blanco’s, relentless pursuit of justice. The debut film by director Ben Cheetham is a beautiful and brutal forensic examination of the full story behind Mark’s death.
