“Powerful is an understatement. A compelling, haunting, modern tragedy.”

 The Observer

“Drama at its best. Uncomfortable, emotional, brilliant television. Five Daughters was a masterclass in how to dramatise a recent news event.” 

The Guardian

“You were left to reflect on docudrama’s great worth. Primetime drama doesn’t get better than this.”

The Independent

“Profoundly humane. Alongside classics like Cathy Come Home.”
