Overview

On a freezing December night in 1963, 13-year-old Alison Carter took her dog for a walk and was never seen again. As the entire country watched, newly-promoted Detective Inspector George Bennett turned up enough evidence to see his suspect hanged and was hailed a hero by the people of Scardale. More than four decades later, the lingering cloud left by the missing body of Alison Carter compels controversial filmmaker Catherine Heathcote to turn her camera to Bennett.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A methodical excavation of a decades-old child murder case that refuses easy answers, asking whether we can ever know the truth about what happened in a small village. It's a film about the weight of conviction and the corrosive effect of unsolved trauma on those left behind.
