This audacious and groundbreaking three part series (2-disc set – 180 minutes) from Open University, made in collaboration with Greater Manchester Police and BBC, explores the fallibility of human memory in witness testimony, by creating eyewitnesses and looking at real life cases crucial to the eyewitness story, as well as looking behind the scenes of the series and finding out more about the experts and their work.

Eyewitnesses play a crucial role in solving crimes, yet around 60% of wrongful
convictions are caused by mistaken eyewitness identification.

 Using full scale staged crimes and investigations to test the memories of ten ordinary members of the public, this series discovers how what someone sees for just a few seconds could be the key to solving a crime – or could send the wrong person to prison.

Contains strong language, staged violence and emotional scenes.

From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all.  His life changed history, and his courage changed lives.

 Sean Penn won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the New Yorker who became known as a gay rights activist after moving to San Francisco in the early 1970s. After two failed attempts to become elected to San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, Milk finally made it onto the board in 1977 – but only served for a matter of months before he and the city’s mayor George Moscone (Victor Garber) were shot to death by right-wing rival Dan White (Josh Brolin).

With a powerhouse performance in the leading role, Sean Penn (Mystic River) and supporting cast Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild), Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men) and James Franco (Spider-Man).
