Red Riding: The Year of Our Lord 1974
An epic tale of murder, corruption and obsession.
Directed by Julian Jarrold
Produced by Screen Yorkshire, Lipsync Productions
A grim, paranoia-soaked investigation into institutional corruption and child murder in 1970s Yorkshire, where truth becomes increasingly elusive and danger omnipresent.
Yorkshire, 1974. Fear, mistrust and institutionalised police corruption are running riot. Rookie journalist Eddie Dunford is determined to search for the truth in an increasingly complex maze of lies and deceit surrounding the police investigation into a series of child abductions. When young Clare Kemplay goes missing, Eddie and his colleague, Barry, persuade their editor to let them investigate links with two similar abductions that draw them into a deadly world of secrecy, intimidation, shocking revelations and police brutality.
