Lockerbie: A Search For Truth S1

Based on real events, Lockerbie: A Search For Truth stars Oscar winner Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, Love Actually) as a grieving father seeking justice in the aftermath of one of the worst airline disasters in history.

In the wake of a terror attack that killed 259 passengers and crew, Dr Jim Swire (Firth) is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims’ families. His quest for answers will jeopardise his stability, his family and his life – and completely overturn his trust in the justice system.

Named Best Scripted Television at the 2025 BAFTA Awards in Scotland, Lockerbie: A Search For Truth was hailed as “meticulously researched and sensitively told… superb” by Daily Mail in their five-star review.
