The Birmingham Wives

One evening more than 16 years ago, six men walked out of their front doors and have yet to return. They were arrested, tried and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murders of 21 people in the 1974 bombing of two Birmingham pubs. This is the story of the wives and daughters of the Birmingham Six, the women who wait. They talk about the pain of lost relationships, the isolation and insecurity, the threats and the shattered expectations. Above all, they are driven by an absolute faith in the men's innocence and a determination to see their names cleared.
