This Much is True
T0708738281
On 22 June 2005 members of the Metropolitan Police shot Jean Charles de Menezes dead at Stockwell Underground Station. Four years later, it remains a defining moment in how Britain battles terror. Creating the widest possible picture of how an horrific individual incident became a pivotal national event,
This Much is True interweaves contemporary media footage with previously unheard testimonies from Jean Charles de Menezes's family and friends, senior Police Officers from the case, 'Justice for Jean' campaigners, the legal teams, whistle-blowers and eye-witnesses. Many of these people are speaking publicly for the first time.
This Much is True is a passionate, shocking and theatrical exploration of how personal tragedy can affect a whole society, and asks the most difficult question of all: Where do we go from here?
