Sunday World
About this episode

An underground bunker, a community of internet warriors attempting to create their own other world nirvana and an Irish criminal Godfather afraid of the dark. It sounds like the plot of a Netflix drama - and it is but it’s far from fiction.


Nicola speaks to Max Rainer and Killian Lieb, the writers and directors of 'Cyberbunker' a new true crime documentary to be screened on the streaming giant from November 8th.


We discuss the extraordinary events that led 600 German police to the former NATO bunker high above the Mosel Valley and the Irish criminal, George ‘The Penguin’ Mitchell whose presence led them there.
