Hillsborough
On 15 April 1989, a crush on the terraces at Hillsborough stadium during an FA Cup semi-final kills 96 Liverpool supporters. This film, made for LFC TV to mark the disaster's twentieth anniversary, gathers survivors, campaigners, and former players to walk through what happened that afternoon and in the years after it. Sheila Coleman and Peter Carney describe the campaign for a fresh inquiry, while John Barnes and John Aldridge, who were on the pitch that day, recall the moment the match was stopped. The film covers the police decision to open an exit gate that let a surge of fans into an already packed pen, the newspaper coverage that blamed supporters for the crush, and the families who spent decades pushing back against that account. Contributions from Phil Hammond, Neil Fitzmaurice, and academic Rogan Taylor add context on how football fans were policed and portrayed at the time. The film sits closer to the fans' side of the story than to the official one, and treats the fight for accountability as still unfinished.
