Longford background

Longford

British activist Lord Longford's unorthodox views sparked widespread controversy, affecting both his professional and personal life.

Lord Longford, a renowned advocate for prisoners' rights, focuses his efforts on the notorious Myra Hindley, convicted of child murders with her boyfriend Ian Brady. Despite his wife's shock and public backlash, Longford continues to visit and campaign for Hindley's release, even after being removed as Government Leader in the House of Lords. His devotion to Catholicism and hope for Hindley's redemption are unwavering, but ultimately, his efforts are unsuccessful when she reveals additional murders.
