Hillsborough (1996 TV Movie)
10/10
A fantastic look at the real story of the 1989 Hilsborough Stadium Disaster
3 April 2005
Warning: Spoilers
April 15th 1989 an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Sadly overshadowed by the death of 95 Liverpool supporters, who should never have lost their lives. This film follows three families, who attended the game. Christopher Eccleston and Ricky Tomlinson give marvellous emotional performances as the fathers of two of those families. The film also follows their quest for justice, and their trips to the courtroom to battle for an enquiry in the tragic events. In the end, they are let down by the British justice system, who initially fail to order an enquiry into the disaster. Later a decision reversed, and now the Taylor enquiry has changed the way football will be attended forever. Poignant and moving film. Watch it.
