This powerful documentary from the makers of McCullin revisits Harold Evans’s fight to win justice for those whose lives were irrevocably changed by the drug thalidomide. It is by turns enraging, enlightening, heartbreaking and, ultimately, uplifting. Working around British laws that stifled public discussion of the scandal, crusading newspaper editor Evans mounted a moral campaign in the early 70s that highlighted the drinks and pharmaceuticals company Distillers’ callous disregard for the catastrophic human cost of the “wonder drug”. Tracing the origins of thalidomide back to concentration camp experiments (hence the “Nazi war crime” subtitle), this is both a tribute to the brave resilience of parents and children and a paean to a past age of honest, old-school investigative journalism.
