Colin Firth’s Sky/Peacock Series ‘Lockerbie: A Search For Truth’ Criticized As “Tragedy Porn” By Distressed Victims Of Pan Am Disaster
Colin Firth's Sky/Peacock series 'Lockerbie: A Search For Truth' has been criticized as "tragedy porn" by victims of the Pan Am flight 103 bombing.
Fast forward 36 years and Ciulla Lipkin and her Mom sat together to confront the worst moment of their lives in Sky and Peacock ’s Colin Firth series Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, the first major TV dramatization of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. Executive producer Gareth Neame has addressed these concerns in press interviews, telling The Daily Mail that consultant Faisal A. Qureshi carried out extensive research for the series, including creating a database of 7,000 documents about the crash. Lockerbie’s post-script makes clear that Megrahi is “the only person to have been convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103,” but caveats this by saying that Swire remains convinced of his innocence and continues to believe that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command, supported by Iran, was responsible for the atrocity.
