The Verdict
A 90 minute docudrama – highlighting the difficulties in convicting in rape cases. The courtroom was filmed as a drama with actors and the barristers were all real.
“Gripping drama .. and palpable tension with the legal team”…The Times
“There are so few convictions for rape, feminist campaigner Julie Bindle suggests ‘it might as well be legal.’ The Verdict demonstrates why with a steady drip, drip horror… as we watch the rape victim being picked to pieces about her sexual history… it becomes obvious why 75% never approach the police”…The Independent
“The Verdict was such compelling viewing… it’s strength was that it emphasised the disparity between the heat of the moment and emotions recollected in relative tranquillity”…Evening Standard
