We talk to the team behind the ITV prime-time documentary The Real Anne: Unfinished Business discussing the film’s conception, filming, crafting such a sensitive story, and the challenges of editing remotely.
Hillsborough is Britain's worst sporting disaster - 97 men, women, and children died. The documentary tells the remarkable battle of Merseyside mum and campaigner Anne Williams, who lost her son Kevin. For nearly three decades, she fought the English establishment to expose the truth of what really happened at Hillsborough and to try and get justice for the 97.
As a companion film to Anne the drama, Maxine Peake, who plays her, immerses herself in her story speaking to family, survivors and countless others.
The documentary combines archive and interviews to tell this compelling story.
