A drama-documentary presented by Alan Yentob, with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role.

What emerges is a complex portrait of a sophisticated, civilised and yet tormented man.

The strange story of John McAfee, who went from millionaire software mogul to yogi, Kurtz-like jungle recluse to potential murderer, and most recently a prospective presidential candidate for the American Libertarian Party.
