The story

The film begins in 1987 when penal reform campaigner Lord Longford is invited by a radio host to discuss his new book Saints, with the radio host inviting listeners to call in and join in with the conversation about the new book. Instead, Longford finds himself being challenged by a man who berates him for campaigning for Myra Hindley's release from prison, particularly as she has recently confessed to another two killings which had remained unsolved for more than twenty years. Longford declines to talk about Hindley, as he had made it clear that he would not be discussing her on this particular programme.
