Murder in Soho: Who Killed Freddie Mills?(2018)

Murder in Soho: Who Killed Freddie Mills? is a documentary film investigating the unsolved death of Britain's first sporting celebrity, the world light-heavyweight boxing champion Freddie Mills. On 25 July 1965, Mills was found shot dead in his car in London's Soho district, ending a remarkable rise from fairground boxing booths to household fame. The film explores Mills's life against the backdrop of 1960s organised crime, the Kray twins, gambling rackets, and police corruption that defined the era. Drawing on eight hours of previously unseen home movies, it offers an intimate portrait of the man behind the celebrity. Murder in Soho examines the brutal underworld that surrounded Mills and the string of unsolved murders connected to his name, piecing together the circumstances of his death and the questions that remain unanswered decades later.
