New documentary to explore chilling true story behind Stephen Graham’s The Walk In
It will air shortly after the fifth and final episode of The Walk in tonight
A new documentary is set to explore the horrifying true story behind Stephen Graham’s drama The Walk In.
The acclaimed series tells the true story of reformed neo-Nazi Matthew Collins – played by Graham – who works as a journalist for the anti-racism organisation, Hope not Hate.
And now, viewers will be able to discover the true story behind the show thanks to ITV’s upcoming new documentary Nazi Hunters: The Real Walk-In, which will lift the lid on the real Matthew Collins and his fight against racism and far-right terrorist group, National Action.
In the documentary, Collins will share the story of how he transformed his life from being an active neo-Nazi to fighting white supremacists and bringing National Action members to justice.
The documentary will also feature interviews with the real Robbie Mullen, the man who infiltrated National Action as a mole, as well as never-before-seen police footage of National Action.
Nazi Hunters: The Real Walk-In will air as part of ITV’s BAFTA-winning Exposure programming tonight (October 31st) after the fifth and final episode of The Walk In at 10:45pm.
In the upcoming final episode, viewers will see Collins come face-to-face with the National Action members he once affiliated with in court.
ITV’s teaser description for the episode reads: “Walk-in Robbie Mullen must face his former friends from National Action in court.

“The right-wing terrorists are accused of plotting to murder an MP but the case will stand or fall on Mullen’s attempt to paint himself as a reformed character.”
The Walk In has proven to be hugely popular among viewers since it aired at the start of the month, who have become wholly invested in Collins’ attempts to bring down National Action.
It was written by acclaimed screenwriter Jeff Pope and directed by BAFTA award winning Paul Andrew Williams, and was billed as an explosive state-of-the-world series that ‘explores some of the most critical and relevant issues of modern times including racism, freedom of speech and terrorism’.
The final episode of The Walk In airs on ITV tonight at 9pm. This will be followed by Nazi Hunters: The Real Walk-In at 10:45pm.
