Inside the Iranian Uprising

In reaction to the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, in September 2022, while she was under arrest for not wearing her hijab “properly”, furious protesters took to the streets of Iran.

Nicky Campbell fronts this grave one-off about the Scottish boyband who set the charts alight in the 70s, but were sexually abused by their manager, Tam Paton, and others. As Campbell connects his own experiences to those of the Rollers, the result is harrowing but necessary television. HJD
