The Disappearance

of Jay Slater

This documentary investigates the disappearance of Jay Slater, a British teenager who vanished in Tenerife in June 2024 while attending a music festival. As a massive search unfolded, so did an online firestorm — with over 30 million TikTok videos, conspiracy theories, and amateur sleuths crowding the digital space.

With exclusive access to the coronial process in Lancashire, the film follows Jay’s family through a year of grief, confusion, and unanswered questions. More than a story of personal tragedy, this is a chilling look at the new age of online true crime – and the real-world consequences of an unchecked digital world.
