A Place Like Hungerford

First of nine programmes "Time does heal...' affirms the widow of one of the 16 People shot dead by Michael Ryan on 19 August last year in and around the Berkshire market town of Hungerford. Over the past 12 months, Everyman has paid regular visits to Hungerford, making a unique record of the process of grief and the beginnings of recovery in the town. In this specially extended programme, the bereaved and injured talk freely of their pain, anger and bewilderment - and of the emotional changes they've experienced as time has passed. The town has come together for civic events like the Memorial Service, the age-old Hungerford tradition of 'Tutti Day' which celebrates the coming of spring, and the Summer Carnival. What becomes evident as the months unfold is a remarkable story of the courage, resilience and quiet dignity of an English community in the face of tragic, inexplicable loss.
