Prisoner 951

In 2016, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is torn from her 22-month-old daughter and falsely imprisoned in Iran. Thousands of miles away, in London, her husband Richard refuses to stay silent and wages a campaign to free her. Thrust into the global spotlight by extraordinary circumstances, this true story is a testament to the courage, resilience and love of an ordinary family.

Our take

A series adaptation of the true story of the Zaghari-Ratcliffe couple, Prisoner 951 retraces the relentless gears that can transform, overnight, an ordinary citizen into a state hostage. Starring Narges Rashidi and Joseph Fiennes, this drama pulls back the curtain on the arbitrary nature of the Tehran regime and the painful confrontation between individuals and the inertia of Western diplomacy. An intimate and geopolitical series at the heart of a couple’s fight for truth and freedom.
