Academy Award Winner Jim Broadbent (Iris) and Academy Award Nominee Samantha Morton (In America) star in this stunning HBO film about crime, punishment, redemption and forgiveness, from Golden Globe-winning director Tom Hooper (Elizabeth I) and Golden Globe-winning writer Peter Morgan (The Queen). Broadbent is Frank Aungier Pakenham, the 7th Earl of Longford, an unconventional politician who tirelessly champions prisoners' rights. Morton is Myra Hindley, the infamous child killer behind the "Moors Murders" and the personification of evil among the public. Playing out amidst the media furor of the time, the story explores the reasons behind Longford's steadfast conviction that Hindley should be released and rehabilitated, showing how his advocacy and good faith, ironically, may have ransomed his good name and a reputation built over decades.
