Netflix has released the trailer for ITN Productions 1 x 90’ documentary, The Investigation of Lucy Letby.
The film will be released on Netflix on February 4th.
The feature-length film about Lucy Letby, the British neonatal nurse who was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others under her care, hears for the first time from the British police who investigated the case and features never-before-seen footage of Letby during her arrests and police questioning.
The documentary includes interviews with experts and lawyers on both sides along with an anonymised interview with a mother of one of the victims who speaks for the first time about her experience and involvement in Letby’s trial.
Produced as a result of years of research and relationship-building, the film traces developments from Letby’s arrests to trial chronologically only using testimonies from contributors from both sides who have been directly involved in or affected by the case.
Ian Rumsey, Managing Director of Content, ITN, said: “This was an incredibly challenging story to tell. We’ve presented perspectives from all sides in order to let viewers draw their own conclusions. I’m enormously proud of the entire team, who’ve attempted to make the definitive documentary about this tragic case. It is ITN Productions at its best.”
Caroline Short, Head of Global TV, ITN Productions, said: “The access to all our contributors came with a huge responsibility to present everyone’s perspectives with care and understanding. We are grateful to all those people who trusted us to tell their story.”
Dominic Sivyer, director of The Investigation of Lucy Letby, said: “This was an exceptional and demanding project, marked by significant creative and ethical responsibility. Our aim was to craft a powerful, emotionally resonant depiction of the events surrounding the case.”
The Investigation of Lucy Letby was executive produced by Caroline Short and Ian Rumsey. It was directed by Dominic Sivyer, produced by Carla Wright and edited by Simon Mason. Post production was completed in HDR in-house at ITN Post, led by Director of Post Production, Edurne Bengoa.
