Anna Maxwell Martin stars in Jimmy McGovern’s brand new drama Unforgivable.
Set and filmed in Liverpool, the fictional drama centres around the Mitchell family who are dealing with the devastating aftermath of an act of abuse perpetrated by a member of their own family.
Having served his prison sentence, Joe arrives at St Maura’s, an institution which offers him a home and rehabilitation after his release. With the support of Katherine (Anna Maxwell Martin), an ex-nun, Joe undertakes therapy sessions in the hope of understanding what led him to commit the abuse and to face up to the consequences. Simultaneously, his sister, Anna, is dealing with the enormous impact that Joe’s crime has had on her family – her sons, Tom and Peter, and her father, Brian.
The drama examines the extensive ripple effect of abuse from multiple perspectives and how those involved can try to move forwards in the midst of the devastation.
Unforgivable begins on BBC2 and BBC iPlayer on Thursday 24th July
