The Moorside

Based on real events, this powerful story of friendship, trust, and forgiveness takes us to the heart of a community rocked by a child's disappearance. In 2008, 9-year-old Shannon Matthews is reported missing. A frantic search follows and quickly becomes a murder inquiry. Led by Julie Bushby, the community rallies around Shannon's grief-stricken mother Karen, determined to find her daughter and show that although she's from a poor background, Shannon's life is as important as any other. As hope fades and doubts about Karen arise, Shannon is found--with a man her mother knows. As suspicions deepen, Karen's friends set about discovering the truth.
