Anne Williams tragically loses her son in The Hillsborough disaster, and begins a lengthy process to get justice.
Part one is the real choker, it hits you hard, some of the descriptions, some of the footage, it is almost possible not to have tears in your eyes. The rest of it will move you, but also frustrate you, as you'll witness one of the worst cover ups in living memory.
I think they got the balance just right here, there are lots of tears as you'd expect from such a harrowing story, but there are also several positive moments throughout also.
I was none when the events happened, it feels like the first big tragedy I remember from my youth. Even to this day, the footage still shocks me.
Maxine Peake is tremendous as Anne, the last time I saw a performance this good, it was David Tennant as Des, I'd be surprised if she doesn't win awards for this. The whole cast are fantastic.
Seriously recommended, 10/10.
