Very difficult watch but we'll made. I can imagine there are judges and prosecutors that get away with the stern questioning and unsympathetic approach.
Another reviewer mentions the Jamie bulger murder and whilst I mentioned this after finishing the programme, it was the stark contrast to the two monsters who hurt and killed a small child. To a small child who had been let down by all around him.
This covers the people who tried and those who could h e helped the family and didn't. This shows how far people will go when they feel there is no other option.

Brilliant acting from young talent
Superb!
This is not an easy watch but it is well worth the effort. I caught it by chance, in BBC IPlayer. Billy Barrett is already a terrific young actor, and rightly steals the limelight from the more experienced cast. A terrific BBC production.
Truly remarkable
I feel so sad that this movie is a docudrama. The character was acted so well, i feel so sorry for the boy even though the murder was brutal. A child is a child and shouldn't be tried as an adult, especially someone so young but had to takeover as a caregiver for the family.
