Synopsis
This tale of a mother accused and convicted of the deaths of her two young babies is a horrific yet powerful.
By adopting a form commonly associated with verbatim theatre, the subject is imbued with a clarity that is at once both unrelenting and utterly engaging, as it slowly emerges that these events are not truth at all, but Kelly masquerading theatrical illusion as truth.
What unfolds is a bleak yet tender exploration of grief, exploitation, and the innate hypocrisies of reportage.
