About

A 1950s true crime drama about Ruth Ellis, the last woman in Britain to be hanged. This startling story reveals hidden truths about Ruth's murder of her lover, the legal case surrounding it and those who were also complicit.
Postwar London’s smoke-filled streets and rigid social hierarchies provide a suffocating backdrop for this tragic account of obsession and injustice. Beyond the courtroom drama, the narrative unearths the quiet complicity of a society determined to see a desperate woman hang.
