Zara McDermott presents one of her most urgent and emotional series, exposing the devastating impact of stalking and asking why more isn’t being done to stop it.

Told entirely in the present tense, this gripping two-part documentary follows three women as they live through the terrifying reality of being stalked. With rare access to the victims, their families and law enforcement, the series offers a raw, unfiltered look at what stalking really means, and what it takes to survive.

From Jen, whose stalker was jailed only to contact her hours after release, to Laura, tormented for years by an ex-partner, and Liv, targeted by a cyberstalker for over six years, their stories are harrowing and urgent.

Across the series, Zara meets victims, police and experts, asking why so many cases fall through the cracks and what must change.
