Bombers

On 6 August 1945, a B29 bomber, called Enola Gay after the captain's mother, dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Seventy-eight thousand people died immediately. It was the ultimate in terror bombing. An aeroplane first dropped a bomb just eight years after the Wright brothers first flew. A new and horrific dimension to warfare had arrived. Conventional bombing reached its climax in the Vietnam War, when the United States, in a ten-year-long campaign dropped six-and-a-half million tons of bombs. More than was used in the whole of the Second World War.

The Twelve

Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.

As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial, not only for the accused, but for the jury members themselves.

Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
