New 麻豆约拍 One Northern Ireland series The Search explores the impact on families when a loved one goes missing
A new series for 麻豆约拍 One Northern Ireland explores the impact on families when a loved one goes missing, and meets the Community Rescue Service volunteers who drop everything to find them.
The Search is a three-part observational documentary series beginning on 麻豆约拍 One Northern Ireland on Tuesday 22 January at 10.40pm. It explores the search for Northern Ireland’s reported missing people through the eyes of the Community Rescue Service - Search And Rescue Technicians (SARTEC) - and the loved ones of those affected. Using body cams, first hand interviews and footage from searches, the programme tells the powerful story of the brave and selfless volunteers who put their own safety at risk to locate people who quite often don’t want to be found.

It meets the families they help and reveals what drives them to give up their spare time to help strangers who are desperate to locate their loved ones. It also deals with the impact having a missing person has on their loved ones.
Throughout the series the team are called in after a man is reported missing by his family, there’s a dramatic rescue attempt when a vulnerable man enters the chilly night water in Belfast and the volunteers race against time in an attempt to find an elderly dementia patient missing in freezing cold conditions.
The Search is made by Afro-Mic Productions for 麻豆约拍 One Northern Ireland.
