25 years ago, in 1997, the world was shaken by the trial in which Louise Woodward, an 18-year-old au pair from Great Britain who worked in Boston, USA, was accused and convicted of killing a baby. The prosecutor claimed that the baby died from being violently shaken. Now Louise is middle-aged, raising her daughter, and the neighbors say that she is a mother like any other. The British documentary mini-series, shot in 2022, examines the course of the trial and questions how fair the verdict was.
