Longford

The only thing more shocking than her crime, was his crusade to free her. In a riveting drama hailed as “extraordinary” (People Magazine), Academy Award®-winner Jim Broadbent (The Street, Bridget Jones films, Iris) portrays British Lord Frank Aungier Pakenham, 7th Earl of Longford, and his unlikely bond with one of Britain’s most notorious criminals, child murderess Myra Hindley (Academy Award®-nominee Samantha Morton, In America, Minority Report). Enjoy their spellbinding performances in this true story about a respected politician who stakes his name and career to campaign for a convicted serial killer. Co-stars Lee Boardman (Rome), Tam Dean Burn (Hamish Macbeth), Lindsay Duncan (The Rector’s Wife) and Kate Miles (EastEnders). “Intimate, intelligent and lingeringly resonant”—New York Daily News.
