NEW FILM TRAILER
FIRE OVER SHINGLE STREET - TRAILER FOR A NEW DOCUMENTARY FILM
Fire Over Shingle Street (UK documentary ) Filmed and directed by Tim Curtis, 2025
For decades the Shingle Street ‘Mystery’ has divided the views of locals, journalists and historians alike with incredible and unexplained stories of the sea being set on fire, dead soldiers bodies on the beach and strange happenings in the night.
Was this remote stretch of Suffolk’s coast the site of a German invasion attempt? Or could it have been part of an elaborate wartime deception?
This gripping documentary takes viewers deep into Suffolk’s secret wartime history and attempts to unravel an enigma that refuses to fade, making it one of Britain’s Greatest Second World War mysteries.

In a digital landscape where attention spans are fleeting, a video promotion holds the key to cutting through the noise and capturing your audience's imagination. Videos engage viewers on a deeper level, fostering a connection that mere text struggles to achieve.
