鈥淭here鈥檚 something addictive about uncovering the world as it really is.鈥 The allegations begin.
When James Le Mesurier fell to his death in Turkey in 2019 he left behind a tangle of truths and lies. Mayday tells the extraordinary real story of the man who organised the White Helmets 鈥 rescuers who film themselves pulling survivors from bombed out buildings in rebel-held areas of Syria 鈥 and investigates claims that, far from being heroes, they are part of a very elaborate hoax. James Le Mesurier 鈥 his detractors say 鈥 was a British secret agent, pulling the strings. So when his body was found by worshippers on their way to morning prayers, there were a lot questions.
