We were fortunate enough to be at the premiere of the 3 part docuseries in Bath recently as the 100 year anniversary approaches.  Thank you Becky, for telling us about this!  It's not about who you think, and I like that.  It's a memoriam, but, the story is what it is.

We're going Hunting!  But that was never their plan.   It was to be a mans weekend far away from home.  Sadly for them, their behavior led them to an unimaginable horror in a small hunting community.
