Lockerbie: A Search for Truth Trailer Released

The upcoming limited series 'Lockerbie: A Search for Truth', starring Colin Firth as Dr. Jim Swire, chronicles the tragic bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on December 21, 1988, which resulted in the deaths of 259 individuals on board and 11 residents on the ground. The five-part series explores Swire's relentless pursuit of justice following the loss of his daughter, Flora, as he becomes the spokesperson for the UK victims' families, demanding truth and accountability from international authorities. Set to debut on Peacock in the U.S. and Sky in the U.K. on January 2, 2025, the series is directed by Otto Bathurst and features a cast including Catherine McCormack and Rosanna Adams. The narrative not only delves into the personal grief of Swire but also the broader implications of the bombing, which was orchestrated by a terrorist bomb linked to Libya. Executive producers Gareth Neame and Nigel Marchant highlighted the importance of this story, which reflects on the impact of loss and the fight for justice across decades. 'Lockerbie' promises to be both a poignant character study and an investigative political thriller.
