Lockerbie: A Search for Truth

Dr. Jim Swire searches for justice following the death of his daughter Flora in one of the worst air disasters in history: the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. On December 21, 1988, 259 passengers and crew, as well as 11 residents on the ground, were killed when a plane exploded over the quiet town of Lockerbie, Scotland. Thirteen years later, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime and later released on compassionate grounds. In the wake of Flora's death, Jim is named head of the UK victims' group and, after years of relentless campaigning, becomes instrumental in bringing Megrahi to trial. However, Jim's absolute trust in the justice system is sullied forever when he comes to believe, to his horror, that Megrahi could be innocent. As the truth shifts under Jim's feet, his life starts to crumble, losing his job and ignoring his living family for this crusade for truth and his desire to find those responsible for her death.
