NATIONAL TREASURE: KIRI
Kiri goes missing on an UNSUPERVISED visit to her birth family arranged by her social worker, Miriam.
Written by Jack Thorne, this four-part drama is the story of a young black girl in the process of being adopted by a middle class white family. We follow Miriam, as the fingers of SUSPICION and blame point at her and her judgement is questioned; Kiri's birth family, as they find both their past failings and their present dysfunctional relationships put under the microscope; and Kiri's adoptive family - particularly Alice, Kiri's fiercely articulate white foster mother, as they are thrust into the national limelight. All of them are asking the same two questions: what happened to Kiri, and who is to blame?
