Hillsborough

Hillsborough (1996)

Director:

Charles McDougall

Writer 

Jimmy McGovern

Cast: Christopher Eccleston, Mark Womack, Ricky Tomlinson, Anabelle Apsion, Tracey Wilkinson

This film is a drama based on the events of April 1989, when ninety-six Liverpool supporters were crushed to death during an F.A. Cup Semi-Final match against Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium. 

The movie follows the lives of three families before the match, during the tragedy and at the ensuing court battles which tried to decide who was to blame and what went wrong. 

The movie features an amazingly strong cast, and is depicted with respect towards the victims families and the pain of their loss, the treatment they received immediately afterwards.

I am not a football fan but this is a film that kept me gripped and made me really think about how justice was not served until this year.
