On March 15, 2019, New Zealand’s sense of peace was shattered in one of the most horrifying and globally significant acts of modern terrorism. “Live-Streamed Terror: The Christchurch Mosque Massacre” dives deep into the chilling true story behind the attack that left 51 people dead, dozens injured, and an entire world grappling with the terrifying intersection of hate, violence, and social media.

In this unflinching 40-minute episode of Terror Bites, we explore the events leading up to the Christchurch mosque shootings, where a white supremacist gunman stormed two mosques Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre—during Friday prayers, armed with military-style semi-automatic weapons and a twisted ideology fueled by online radicalization.

• The impact on survivors, the Muslim community in New Zealand, and families who lost loved ones in what should have been a place of peace.
• The swift legal and political response, including New Zealand’s historic gun law reforms, the international “Christchurch Call,” and the shooter’s life sentence without parole.
• The unanswered questions, haunting lessons, and how this massacre reshaped global conversations on terrorism, digital extremism, and hate speech online.

When grieving families trusted Michael and Kathleen Coudriet to cremate their loved ones, they had no idea the bodies would never leave the house. What started as a “compassionate, affordable” funeral service turned into something far more sinister—a horror show of rotting corpses, fake ashes, and a house of unimaginable decay.
