The Ballad of Lucy Sands

A beautifully written, well acted and directed true story. So much hard work has gone into the making of The Ballad of Lucy Sands. There are loads of local volunteers who have been involved in the acting and production of this story it is an absolute credit to the memory of the young lady who sadly lost her life so many years ago. Her story deserved to be told and has been recreated perfectly by the writer, director, cast and production team. Lucy's death was a real tragedy and she would have been forgotten were it not for the efforts of everyone involved in the making of the Ballad of Lucy Sands their hard work and dedication has really paid off the film is amazing!

Saw 1st episodes at the Museum in Workington..carnt wait till December to watch the other parts..I'm loving it as this happened in my home town.those who have not seen it..its a must..well done Steve Baldwin his crew and actors...its a shame that someone tried to destroy this movie.by there immature actions..carry on Steve and crew tell us more about this poor girl and all other things that happened around the same time. Her parents and family must have been out of there minds with worry.loved seeing how you turned places back to how they were in the old days..roll on to seeing the next episodes 😊

I saw Steve's story & was inspired to be part of this legacy back in 2019. I have now watched the first two episodes & I look forward to seeing two more in December. I sincerely hope this is snapped up & shown on TV very soon.

A Cumbrian tragedy & forgotten story, sympathetically portrayed to right a terrible wrong that should never have happened- the perpetrator never allowed to escape.

All the actors are fantastic, the filming & photography, breathtaking, the locations have been chosen with insight, care & empathy to represent the era, story & situations to the best advantage.

All involved are to be celebrated, make-up were outstanding as you will see when it is screened.

Not to be missed!

I watched the first two episodes of this six part drama. Absolutely brilliant, shocking in parts. The story also explores the divide between working class and middle class people, how lives can be altered by the actions of one person. The actress who played the main part is amazing both in her delivery and conviction of the part she is portraying. Amazing to see how this emerged from watching the filming to the actual screen. I'm really looking forward to the next two episodes. This is a true story that shocked people world wide then drifted into the background. Lucy's story is one that needs to be told and remembered.

The cinematography is excellent. I'm not usually one for period dramas, but this story had me completely intrigued. The settings are fantastic, and the acting from everyone is superb, and I think that most will go far in their careers. Steve Baldwin has created something very special by telling the story of Lucy Sands. I first learned of the Lucy Sands project a couple of years ago, and ever since then, I waited with baited breath, and all I can say is that the wait was well worth it. Would I watch this again if it eventually made it toTV? YES! Would I buy it on bluray? Hell, yes! Long story short, I loved what I have seen this far. Give it a try if you get the chance. You will not be disappointed.
