GB TVM 2006. Granada/Channel 4/HBO. 93m.

A former Labour Minister and member of the House of Lords begins a campaign for the release of Moors murderer Myra Hindley.
Interesting, sombre and extremely powerful real-life drama, more about the tests of loyalty for a very devout Roman Catholic than about the horrors of the Moors murders - which are covered with a modicum of restrained detail – and some intense performances.
