How It Feels

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

A meticulous true crime investigation that situates the Yorkshire Ripper murders within the lived experience of women in 1970s England, where institutional failure and systemic indifference enabled a killer to strike repeatedly. The series immerses you in the fear, rage, and vulnerability of a community terrorized while authorities failed them.
