Award Nominee
Samantha Morton star in this stunning HBO film about crime, punishment,
redemption and forgiveness, from Golden Globe-winning director Tom
Hooper and
Golden Globe-winning writer Peter Morgan.
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

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.
