It appears that the Supreme Court documentary season is upon us. ‘Britain’s Supreme Court’ an hour long documentary, is being screened at 10pm tomorrow evening on More4.
The press release promises ‘A gripping, feature-length documentary charting the first year in the life of Britain’s new Supreme Court – the highest court in the land. With unprecedented access we journey with the Judges, lawyers and ordinary people whose cases will have a far-reaching effect on the everyday lives of people across the UK.’
The documentary will follow a number of cases including Ahmed (control orders), Norris (extradition) and Smith (human rights of soldiers in Iraq) as they progress through the court. ‘We witness David and Goliath battles of individuals challenging the state, the outcomes of which help to define the very nature of our society today.’
