Peacock has released the trailer for Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, in which Academy Award winner Colin Firth stars as Dr. Jim Swire, a father driven by loss, who risks everything in the wake of one of the world’s worst terrorist attacks.
The limited series is based on the book The Lockerbie Bombing: A Father’s Search for Justice, written by Swire and Peter Biddulph, and stars Catherine McCormack, Rosanna Adams, Jemma Carlton, Harry Redding, Sam Troughton, Mark Bonner, Ardalan Esmaili and Selwa Jghalef. Watch the trailer below…
Inspired by the true-life story, on December 21, 1988, 259 passengers and crew were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their life as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town. In the wake of the disaster and his daughter’s death, Dr Jim Swire (Firth), is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims’ families, who have united to demand truth and justice. Traveling across continents and political divides, Jim embarks on a relentless journey that not only jeopardizes his stability, family and life, but completely overturns his trust in the justice system. As the truth shifts under Jim’s feet, his view of the world is left forever changed. Exploring events from the disaster and its aftermath, Lockerbie: A Search For Truth provides an intimate account of a man, a husband, and a father who risks everything in memory of his daughter and the unflinching pursuit of truth and justice.
Lockerbie: A Search For Truth is streaming from January 2 on Peacock in the U.S. and Sky TV in the U.K.
