Growing up in Liverpool I've heard A lot about this disaster and the woman who started the campaign for justice for the victims.
But sadly she died years before the victims got justice. It great to see her story finally be told all these years later.

I really felt that this drama was handled in a very real and realistic way! The excellent acting from all the cast was balanced ,the contradictions came thick and fast and the approach from Kevin's mom;another excellent performance from Maxine Peake.
Anne Williams tragically loses her son in The Hillsborough disaster, and begins a lengthy process to get justice.
Part one is the real choker, it hits you hard, some of the descriptions, some of the footage, it is almost possible not to have tears in your eyes. The rest of it will move you, but also frustrate you, as you'll witness one of the worst cover ups in living memory.
I think they got the balance just right here, there are lots of tears as you'd expect from such a harrowing story, but there are also several positive moments throughout also.
I was none when the events happened, it feels like the first big tragedy I remember from my youth. Even to this day, the footage still shocks me.
Maxine Peake is tremendous as Anne, the last time I saw a performance this good, it was David Tennant as Des, I'd be surprised if she doesn't win awards for this. The whole cast are fantastic.
Seriously recommended, 10/10.

This was a heartbreaking watch. It was television drama at its very finest on every level. The story of Hillsborough has been told many times, but this drama took it to a new level. The pin-point attention to detail and the acting was of the highest calibre. One of ITV's finest productions in recent memory. They have done Anne Williams and the victims of Hillsborough proud.
When my wife suggested that we watch this four-part ITV drama from earlier this year, I wasn't sure if I was up to it, knowing that it would be a tough watch, documenting as it does the struggles of Liverpool mother, Anne Williams,
to achieve justice for all the 96, later 97 victims of the Hillsborough football disaster in 1989, whose number tragically included her own fifteen year-old son Kevin who she'd only reluctantly allowed to attend the game.
Not only did all the relatives have to undergo the shock and loss of their loved ones at what was a national sporting event, an F. A. Cup semi-final, they were all led by the authorities to believe that the victims had all died by 3.15, fifteen minutes after the game had kicked off and worse still that the conduct of the supposedly out-of-control drunken fans on the day had contributed to what was officially pronounced the "accidental death" of all the deceased.
But at their son's own inquest, Anne and her second husband, her children's stepdad, encounter a serving policeman who had tried to administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to their son around 3.30 which clearly contradicted the official version of events. This sets Anne on a path of determining the exact circumstances of her son's last minutes and leads to her horrific discovery that if he and several others of the deceaed could have had access to the prompt medical treatment they should have had by right, over forty of them could possibly have survived. She then tracks down an off-duty health worker who actually helped carry her son out of the crush and onto the pitch and a woman who heard him utter the word "Mum" again, just before he died, well after the official 3.15 time of supposed death.
It takes time for her to find a way out of her grief but we see her eventually hook up with supportive people in authority including a female council officer with whom she strikes up a friendship and a sympathetic local lawyer to unceasingly probe for answers. Despite setback after setback from authority figures who either aren't or don't want to be convinced by the mounting evidence, she keeps on keeping on, pursuing whoever was the Home Secretary of the day, through changing governments, before finally achieving a breakthrough.
Tragically this by then had taken well over twenty years and in the interim cost her both her marriage and her health as she succumbs to cancer but at least she dies knowing that the Hillsborough victims were just that, victims and weren't in any material way and certainly not accidentally, the cause of their own deaths.
Maxine Peake rightly won acclaim for her committed performance as the untiring Williams, who by the end of the exhaustive process was recognised as the figurehead of the Justice for the 96 (later 97) tragic victims that day.
There are still outstanding issues today which will now likely go unanswered as to who was ultimately responsible for the terrible decision-making which turned a much anticipated football match into an infamous national disaster.
This was a story which deserved to be told and hopefully helped correct once and for all, any lingering misconceptions stoked by the gutter press as to what happened on that terrible day as well as documenting the unstinting effort and courage of one ordinary woman's determination to get to the truth.
