A new BBC drama set in Northern Ireland is to explore the emotive issues around abortion through the real stories of three local women.
Three Families, from the producers of Three Girls — the multi award-winning account of the Rochdale grooming scandal — is set in 2013-2019, before the recent change to abortion legislation in Northern Ireland.
The drama will centre on the stories of three women and their families as they each fight to have their voices heard. Names and details have been changed to ensure the anonymity of the real-life contributors.
The cast includes Little Boy Blue actress Sinead Keenan, Lola Petticrew from Bloodlands, Amy James-Kelly (Gentleman Jack) and Genevieve O’Reilly (The Dry).
