Let Him Have It
The shocking story of an unbelievable miscarriage of justice.
Directed by Peter Medak
Produced by Film Trustees Ltd., British Screen Productions
A grim, morally urgent courtroom drama about a vulnerable young man caught in a system that condemns him for another's crime, grounded in historical injustice.
In 1950s England, slow-witted Derek Bentley falls in with a group of petty criminals led by Chris Craig, a teenager with a fondness for American gangster films. Chris and Derek's friendship leads to their involvement in the true case which would forever shake England's belief in capital punishment.
