In February 2008, nine-year-old Shannon Matthews is reported missing. A frantic search quickly becomes a murder inquiry. Led by Julie Bushby, the community rallies around Shannon's grief-stricken mother Karen, determined to find her daughter and show that, although she's from a poor background, Shannon's life is as important as any other. As hope fades and doubts about Karen arise, Shannon is found — with a man her mother knows. Who is this man, and what is his connection to Karen?

How It Feels

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

A meticulous procedural that builds dread as a community mobilizes around a missing child, only to reveal the story is far more complicated and troubling than it initially appears. Grounded in class anxiety and the mechanics of how investigation works, it refuses easy comfort.
