This drama tells the real-life story of retired schoolteacher Christopher Jefferies who was initially questioned by police as a suspect in the murder of Jo Yeates who rented a flat from him. He was vilified by the press, partly on account of his eccentric appearance and long flowing hair, even after he had been released on bail by the police. Written by Anonymous
An acting tour de force! Extraordinary! Jason Watkins is absolutely amazing. This is a kind of exploration of character that requires the deepest understanding of the craft of acting.
This is all a true story told with care and respect about the horrifying behavior of the British Press, the terrible consequences of being falsely accused of murder, and the possibility of human beings to change, even when they are convinced they are set in their ways for life.
I highly recommend this film.
It's available on Netflix.
